We didn't get to meet Theodore, but his mother stepped in and met us at the apartment. She was very helpful and sweet. The apartment looked just like the pictures and was very clean and comfortable, and very easy to locate. The patio was a lovely place to have meals, there was a grocery store very close by and the metro was just a 5 minute walk. We loved everything about our stay (except all the rain, but what can you do???). Theodore had also compiled lots of info that he emailed ahead of time and had a printed copy at the apartment.
