Pierre is a superb host. His flat is exactly like the pictures and it's a very chic and comfortable apartment.
Pierre's communication and instructions were very clear (including great directions on how to get to his flat from the airport). Our airline (Wow Air if you want to fly with someone else) lost our luggage from San Francisco and Pierre helped communicate with the airline luggage delivery service to make sure it was delivered to his flat and we were there to get it. This was very helpful.
A few outstanding benefits of the location:
- It's extremely quiet and Pierre has blackout drapes so it's a great place for sound sleep
- The location is close to the Metro and several bus lines for easy transit
- The building has a super tiny elevator that is nice when it's hot and you have a lot to carry
- His flat has everything you need for a comfortable apartment experience (including a Bose sound system and flatscreen in the living room)
A few things to consider:
- The downstairs neighbor was overly aggressive about banging on their ceiling (the living room floor) when we were literally doing nothing except walking on the floor after 11 pm. We were literally whispering and it was pretty annoying to feel like we couldn't walk around without the banging. This might be no problem if you're more of a morning person.
- The wifi was so-so in most of the apartment except the living room and I had to reboot the router at least once per day. But it was passable.
Overall, I recommend the location and Pierre as a host.
