The flat was very true to the listing, with all the amenities we would need for our stay. The host was very accessible by text, phone or email, and made it a point to come to the flat to show us how everything operates personally. His host manual was fantastic! Intricate instructions on how to operate the washer/dryer, as well as great recommendations for places to eat, parks or whatever your interests may be.

And the host is an artist with impeccable taste in furniture and design, and being an artist and designer myself, I felt right at home.

The neighborhood was also great, safe and full of boutique shops and craftpersons. My wife took a felting class from an instructor just a few doors down from the flat and made a wonderful hat!
