The apartment was modern and lovely. Very clean and lots of light. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was great...I live in NYC and this shower was almost as big as my daughter's small bedroom. We never had problems with hot water....there was always a hot shower available. The host left us coffee and filtered water. She called a cab to take us to the airport and negotiated the price and was there when we paid. The neighborhood felt safe, with lots of restaurnats within walking distance. The only thing I want to mention, which I think others have mentioned as well, is that there is a dog on another lower floor who likes to bark.
