Pros:
- Very well laid out unit - excellent use of space.
- Extremely kid friendly.
- Phenomenal host.
Cons:
- A long bar for eating at but no standard dining room table (probably obvious from the photos).
- Not a lot of counter space (also probably obvious from the photos).
We were two families (4 adults) with 5 children ages 14, 11, 7, 5, and 15 months. This rental was perfect for us! Marie met us when we arrived and had somehow managed to secure us 2 parking spaces on the street near the unit. She lent us a bunch of toys, which the kids all loved, as well as a high chair and a jogging stroller. Way above any reasonable expectations!
One of the biggest factors for us was finding a place that would be toddler friendly (the 15-month-old is constantly wandering around and looking for trouble), and this place was absolutely perfect in that regard.
The location was great, right in the center of a beautiful artistic neighborhood loaded with nearby restaurants and grocery stores and everything else.
We loved the layout. As other reviewers have noted, the place does look even better than the photos. It is essentially one big room with smaller rooms built in at the corners: 2 (side-by-side) bathrooms, 2 bedrooms with large beds, and 1 bedroom with 4 bunks. Having 2 bathrooms was really key for our large group. We didn't have any issues with noise - we didn't really hear anyone or worry that others were hearing us.
