This airbnb is a gem. First, everything is as advertised, if not better. This is a surprisingly elegant older apartment that has been lovingly rehabbed and maintained. The main bedroom is charming, with a nice corner angle at one end of the room. It features thick, solid wood molding and window frames, and a lovely fireplace mantle. Its double doors open onto a pleasant sitting room with its own mantle. There were new-ish electric heating units in the bedrooms and sitting room, which we made good use of. The bathroom is huge, and features both a shower and a large tub, a clothes washer, a dryer -- and heated floors. The kitchen is well-furnished too.
Second, its location is just a couple of blocks from some good dining and a bakery (the curry place is amazing), while the Salamanca arts & entertainment district is just two or three blocks further -- which seems much more lively than the central business district. There are also some great views of the city to be had from nearby. So a perfect location.
