The apartment was BEAUTIFUL. It was very clean, nicely decorated and welcoming: we felt as comfortable as we would at home.The building had clearly been renovated recently. The dining area had floor to ceiling windows that could push open to create a balcony feeling. The backyard was beautifully landscaped, which provided a nice tranquil space while getting a break from the energy of the surrounding city. The kitchen had all the necessities: fridge, cooktop, microwave, dishes, water ketter, espresso machine, etc. It was on a quiet street a block or two from many restaurants, cafes and attractions. The building and neighborhood felt very safe and secure. The hosts were very responsive and the woman who met us for check in was great. She was able to meet us whenever we got in from the train and was available to quickly answer any questions we had. They provided us with a number of recommendations for restaurants and attractions in the area. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone!
