The host met us at the apartment and spent time going over how the appliances worked, where the trash was to be deposited, and where the public transportation, stores and restaurants were located. She stressed letting her know if we had any questions or any problems.

The apartment was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped.

We were disappointed to find that parking was not off street in a designated spot but was on the street and kind of on a first come first served basis. However, we did not have any problem over our car being parked on the street and the neighborhood seemed to be very safe.

We were also disappointed to find that while there is an elevator in the building, there are still approximately 15 stairs to be negotiated to reach the apartment. This was difficult because we have problems with our knees and would have been impossible for someone in a wheel chair. Something I would suggest is that the listing make it clear that it may not be suitable for someone with impaired walking abilities.
