Laurence is quick to answer all questions for you. Her flat is spacious, clean, and in a great location for getting to all the tourist attractions. The pictures that she posts look exactly as her place looks. The linens are good and a washing machine is available in her unit if you wish to use it. We found the bed to be very comfortable. You can cook but the pots and pans are limited and without covers. However, we did make several meals while we were there. There was a dishwasher and soap for it to help you tidy up. It would be helpful to have the directions available because we just guessed which buttons to push. She has a book of recommended restaurants located in the neighborhood. We used two and were very pleased.
