The listing not only met but exceeded expectations...from the design and functionality of the unit to how well our host, Ester, anticipated the needs of her guests.
The accommodations were spacious and exceptionally clean. The kitchen was well stocked with breakfast foods and plenty of snacks...including juices and a bottle of wine.
The bed was very comfortable and we were supplied with all the needed towels and toiletries; she even provided 2 bikes, umbrellas and shoe polish. All the plates, glasses, dishes and pots and pans were beautifically displayed and functional. We were even welcomed with a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers.The neighborhood was wonderful and only 2-3 blocks in both directions from trains to take us all over town. There were also local stores and great restaurants all around us and within easy walking distance. Ester took the time to provide a map and written commentary on her favorite restaurants in the area. The market was only 2 blocks from the listing; you could find everything from clothing to fresh foods and fruits to flowers and some of the best food vendors in town. We had a truly remarkable trip in large part because of the thoughtfulness and planning of the host, Ester. There was nothing I could think of that was overlooked or forgotten. This was a 5+ experience!
