Karin is a wonderful host. The communication was excellent throughout, she is very responsive and provides detailed information about transportation, the area, suggestions on sights, restaurants, pubs, etc.
The apartment is in a historic house, in a historic district. It is just as described and pictured. It is outside the sometimes chaotic downtown area, yet within an easy 20 minute walk to pretty much anyplace you want to go. There are basic supplies available to you on arrival, e.g. eggs, milk, bread, coffee, olive oil. The heat and hot water are on timed systems for efficiency; however you can override them, if you need more. Just read the detailed house instructions. We would stay there again.
