We had a fantastic time at Stephanie's place! She was very communicative leading up to our trip, and was easy to reach on arrival, even though we got in a bit earlier than expected. Her son is adorable (and a great tour guide) and helped show us around the apartment, which was tidy and well-stocked with coffee, crackers, and an herb garden out back. We also really appreciated that Stephanie offered to let us store our luggage on our last day past check-out hour since our flight was in the evening. Hosts are generally unwilling to accommodate this, and it was a huge help.

This is absolutely a matter of personal preference, but I struggled with the very firm mattress on the bed. If you are sensitive to firm mattresses, I would suggest bearing this in mind before booking. Otherwise, a great find that I'd recommend to anyone!
