This is an apartment full of surprises - all good. Loved the decor and furnishings, but the things that really matter to me are cleanliness and a good mattress. Both ticks here. The kitchen is small but very modern and workable with a large fridge. The heater makes the apartment really cozy and warm in cold, wintry weather. But what we loved most about this apartment was its character. In one of Elwood's historic old apartment buildings, it has a front porch overlooking the foreshore, a really lovely courtyard, and an enormous bedroom. Just loved lounging in the armchair in the study nook, looking out through the trees to the bay - also did my Zoom yoga class looking out through the front window. Just magic!
Our adult son was happy in his bedroom with the fold-down bed, which he said was comfortable, and desk, and our dog, Enzo, loved rolling his ball along the long corridor, after his morning run on the beach. Pearl is a superb host; she made us feel welcome, and was accessible, and responsive. She seems to have thought of everything, and has clearly put a lot of thought into the design and setup of this apartment. Highly recommended.
