What a wonderful stay! The apartment proved to be even nicer and more spacious than the pictures indicated. The neighborhood was perfect, with grocery and good restaurants all close by. We found we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go without needing to take any public transportation. The open plan of kitchen and dining room was ideal, and we loved the abundance of windows and natural light. The bathroom was very spacious and modern, sleeping quarters very comfortable, and there were many areas for sitting in the dining room and living room. The white walls and simplicity of decor was soothing. Valerie was out of town when we arrived, but the arrangements she had made for someone to meet us with the key were perfect. Valerie was very responsive by text anytime we had a question. We felt particularly welcomed by the tray of treats Valerie had left for us on the dining room table, along with a map marking the location of recommended restaurants and essential locations such as ATM, etc. A perfect stay.
