Our stay at Sarah's place was great overall.
(just a few minor caveats noted below)
Conveniently located - close but not too close to everything... a short hilly walk to most anywhere we wanted to go, with a grocery and 2 bakeries right around the corner.
We were greeted by her mother who was very kind, and our initial impression of the apartment was wonderful.
It's in a quiet respectful building with an elevator. Nicely decorated, comfortable, and spacious. A good selection of books and artwork. The washing machine came in handy as did the portable fans - it was unseasonably warm during our stay. The terrace is a lovely bonus. It does overlook a parking lot but it's still nice to have a little outdoor spot to sit.
The slightly disappointing parts --
the shower needs some repair. the showerhead could only be propped at one angle so things were a little less than ideal, but the water was hot and got the job done. To her credit, Sarah acknowledged this via airbnb message on our first day there, but it would have been better to know in advance or best to have it fixed before we arrived.
There was only a tiny bit of liquid soap left at the bathroom sink but otherwise no soap, shampoo, or any toiletries to speak of.
Also no napkins, paper towels, garbage bags, etc.
And we did not find any beach essentials, in spite of what it says on the listing.
Sarah's messages were friendly and relatively prompt.
So again, thumbs up overall with room for improvement.
