This apartment was perfect for us: 8 people with a full agenda. Plenty of sites to see within walking distance; easy access to metro; close to 2 grocery stores; elevator; great kitchen and living room for family time.
The furnishings are very nice--much nicer than most AirBnBs I am accustomed to, which are investment properties the owners expect to be beaten up a bit after short term rentals. Laura has setup this apartment to actually live in, with all the little nuances covered. Great soaking tub, washer/dryer, drying rack, 3 different wine bottle openers and everything else you need in a full kitchen... It just wasn't like any other AirBnB we've stayed in.
Also, the check-in process was really helpful instead of just box checking. It felt a bit like we were meeting with a white glove tour planner. Sort of "what were you planning on doing?" "Have you considered..." and "I'll book you a table at this great restaurant that evening" and "how did you plan to get to the airport as you depart?" And everything worked out perfectly. The restaurant had our table, the black car arrived 15 mins early and was waiting on us, whisking us off to the airport and removed all stress from the travel.
Our only regret is that 5 days was too short!
