I honestly don't know where to start. I guess I'll begin by saying this was the best Airbnb experience I've ever had.
Let's start with Oliver. Saying he is a fabulous host would be a gross understatement. Communication was perfect - we began communicating early (prior to my stay). Everything from check in, things to do, recommendations and check out was incredibly smooth and easy. Olivier was thoughtful and communicative at every turn. Not to mention, he is just a lovely person.
Now, let's talk about the apartment. The pictures on Airbnb depict a well decorated flat that's open and airy with a lot to like. Unfortunately, they don't even remotely do his place justice. A number of us that use Airbnb often for travel have all fallen victim to nice pictures and good reviews, but find ourselves in what feels like an episode of punk'd when we walk in. This place is the complete opposite. The apartment is absolutely stunning. From the design choices, layout of the apartment, views, outdoor space, comfort of the furniture, sophistication to the Feng Shui, this place truly had it all. The place has incredible energy that makes you feel immediately at peace. I have a pretty demanding job (like most of us do), and staying here truly felt like a sanctuary. The neighborhood is very safe (if this is your first trip) with lots of options for restaurants, stores, etc. within walking distance.
On one of the nights, we opted to stay in just to enjoy the place and the view. Trust me when I say, don't look any further. Book this place (if it's available). It and Olivier are absolute gems. 5 stars all around.
