Wow! Our whole experience at Sean's beautiful home was beyond our expectations. Sean picked us up at the airport, gave us a great overview of the city as we drove in, and a thorough briefing on the apartment (incredible!). As others have said, the pictures don't do it justice. It is artfully decorated: a mixture of old world charm and funk that really works (why can't we do this at home, I wonder???). It is spotless, steps away from the metro, walk-able to many of the sights a tourist would want to see, and, in spite of being located on a busy intersection, very quiet inside. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed on arrival, including bread, coffee, cereal, and fruit. Sean helped us plan an itinerary for our 2-day visit, and made several great restaurant recommendations. We also met his charming family. My husband and I travel a lot, and this stay was among the very best. We felt very well-cared for, and we will definitely be back, hopefully for a longer stay!
