As a host, Julie was great and easy to coordinate and communicate with. In regards to the apartment, it was certainly cute, clean and well-kept, but definitely smaller than we anticipated. We spent any of our spare time on the bed in the bedroom, since the couch was a small loveseat. The apartment is close to different bus/metro lines and that was great, but the specific location of the apartment isn’t what I would call picturesque. Two main issues we ran into while staying there, was another apartment’s cigarette smoke coming into ours (we think from the bathroom area) and the upstairs neighbors being loud. Whether this was due to just old/thin floors or walls, or if they were just loud in general, every night we could hear them walking and talking above us, along with loud music playing. Again, these factors don’t reflect on Julie as the host, but if I had seen anything of this nature mentioned in previous reviews, I would have looked elsewhere. Hence, my very honest review here.
