This place is great! If you're a design nut, you'll love the care that went into this remodel. The retreat has a lightness and openness that belies its size (although it's plenty big enough for two people to feel comfortable in for four days).
Elana was in close contact but gave us our space. When we arrived, there was milk and juice waiting for us in the fridge (so nice!), which is how we noticed that the fridge wasn't working. Even though I told Elana that she needn't rush to fix it during our stay, it was repaired by that evening, which we appreciated since we had a bunch of delicious leftovers to store.
There is a full working kitchen in the apartment, which we utilized as we were attending a friend's birthday party in the neighborhood and wanted to cook up some apps to bring.
There were books with info and maps and restaurant reviews written by the hosts' daughter, which were great.
All in all, a swell pad in a great city. I would definitely stay here again!
