Sara's place is impeccable! It is a bit pricier than a lot of the other options nearby (including hotels), but still a great value for all the attention to detail she and her parents have put into the apartment. Everything seems thought of; in fact, I often found myself thinking, "Sara knows how to run a 'hotel'. I can see her running a boutique one day."
Her parents checked me in and I will just say: I wanted to take them home with me. Her father, 73, insisted on carrying my suitcase up the 5 flights of stairs to 5th floor apartment (6th floor by American measures). [Side-note: that's the only downside - the 5 flights. Yet, take your time, it's well worth it!]
The apartment was spotless. The kitchen had all the necessities, including 3 bottles of wine, a beer, and a coke - all included. The bathroom... my favorite spot! As another reviewer said, I want to model my own after this one. I took great advantage of the shower and all the goodies. The hairdryer was great (even had the nozzle on it - very rare!). Perfume provided for as well. It's like she's in your head with all the details.
I would have stayed here forever if I could have. Lovely.
