Karen and her apartment was great. We stayed there for 10 days as a family of four, and a couple and two kids were going to join us part of the time, and she was very accommodating to our needs, and gave a reasonable fair price for those days. She let us be, responded quickly if we had any questions. She and her husband even gave us their bikes, and helmets for the kids; we didn't have a chance to use them, yet it was a great gesture still. The place was really kid friendly, as advertised. There were two big boxes of legos, and plethora of cutest doll houses and accessories were waiting for us to play. We had access to the swing and the play house in the yard. The kids were entertained from the first moments we stepped in. The apartment was spacious, uncluttered, light filled, and gave everyone lots of space. We went to design museum and realized we had been using many of the things around the house that the museum was displaying. The location was great as well, close to the metro, buses, bakery that opens at 5 if you were jet lagged, 3 cool neighborhood playgrounds for kids to explore, and walking distance to the best zoo I have ever been to, and a week ago I was in San Diego.
I am not familiar with individual duet covers, and induction hub, so those took me a while to get used to, but I loved the induction hub at the end. Also my 5 years old had a kick out of me not being able to touch the floor on the toilet seat.
The place definitely became a home base for us during our trip and I hope it will to others as well.
