Lovely apartment and Laura was there to greet us. She showed us the amenities, and left, never to be seen again. The apartment was simple, but adequate. I agree with an earlier reviewer - the basics like salt and pepper for cooking would have been lovely. It truly was apartment only....we only found this out when we asked for toiletpaper, and were told that toiletpaper wasn't included. In the end, the housekeeper did bring toiletpaper by, but the grocer accross the road only sells rolls in 10's....so be sure to pack toiletpaper or tissues! The apartment is also right next to a restaurant that stays open late. Throughout the evening pots and pans are thrown around, and it sounds like wood is being chopped constantly. Because its close to the river, there is also a HUGE mosquito problem. Simply put, it was just okay.
