The good: Michele was an excellent host being very prompt and attentive to our needs and ensuring we were happy (for instance: he was actively encouraging of me rearranging the furniture to better suit our needs and swiftly provided a set of wine glasses and a working vacuum cleaner when we requested them). The apartment was well located for our needs and provided an amazingly quiet and private oasis from the busy neighbourhood outside. The building is very stylish and well maintained. We were definitely proud to call this home for the six weeks we stayed. Michele had recently had blinds installed on the windows and these were very welcome on hot days.

The bad: We didn't get to enjoy the advertised views of the city from the deck because of an ongoing dispute with a neighbour, so don't expect to see any city or street life from the apartment. There were numerous minor maintenance issues that needed attending which I suspect were simply unnoticed because this apartment was not lived in by the owner.

Overall we loved staying in Michele's apartment and wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to others.

Thank you Michele!
