This was one of our favorite overseas stays thanks to Carole. She was extremely responsive to all our questions and requests and the apartment was exactly as described. There were 6 of us and the apartment was perfectly sized. Because we tend to cook a lot, the quality of utensils and appliances in the kitchen was a pleasant surprise. They were high-quality, not the IKEA stuff we have seen in most apartments we have rented. Because of some construction work happening in the building, Carole even gave us a discount on our stay - it wasn't necessary at all but much appreciated. If you are looking for a great apartment, in a convenient location with a fantastic host, you can't go wrong here.
