Barbara is super friendly and helpful. She arranged a taxi to pick us up from the airport. Once we arrived, she met us at the apartment and made us feel right at home. She even had wine and treats waiting for us. The apartment is great. It's really lovely. It's in a beautiful building in a neighborhood with everything you could want from shopping to restaurants to sightseeing. The apartment is beautiful with high ceilings and wood trim everywhere. It reminds me of a really cool NYC apartment. It's got lots of character, which I really appreciate. She's taken the time to make sure the details are all right. The towels and sheets are what you would find at an expensive hotel. I really like the fact that there are two queen size beds and a queen size pull-out bed (in a beautiful couch). When I was searching for a place, there were very few with two queen beds. We had a wonderful time. There were five of us and it was perfect. You can't beat the price. Barbara is easy to reach and responds quickly to any questions. I don't think there is a picture of the couch but is a nice big leather couch. We ate out at restaurants but also made meals in the apartment. The kitchen is clean and cute. It has everything we needed and there is even a little supermarket right next to her building. Barbara is awesome and her place is perfect!
