This was my first AirBnB experience, and Irene's flat set the bar rather high. It was important that we stayed in a place that was clean and updated, but authentic and in the heart of the city. Irene's place was spotless and felt like a hotel. The flat is located on a street that is within walking distance to anything needed in the city. We didn't take taxi's or the metro once. It is on a charming and lively street. You have to go up several flights of stairs, but even that didn't detract from the wonderful experience.

Irene was unable to meet us, but she ensured that a friend of hers would get us into her flat, and then she called as soon as we arrived to help get us settled and answer any questions we had. The flat had reliable wifi, ample space, and looked as though it had just been remodeled. My favorite part was the little patio with plenty of seating. Irene had everything someone could need, fresh towels, a full kitchen, large bathroom, a TV (which we didn't use), a freshly made bed, and again plenty of space.

I would give this place a top recommendation! Leading up to our stay, Irene was always available to answer any questions we had and provided great recommendations in the area.
