Jon was incredibly welcoming. He met us at the curb and carted all our luggage upstairs. Our flight got in at noon and since he didn't have a guest in the apartment the night before, we were able to check in early which was very helpful after an international flight.

The apartment is just like in the photos. Very, very clean and well furnished. The deck is amazing; because our stay was in December we didn't get to enjoy it as much as someone visiting in warmer months, but it was wonderful after a long day to recline on the coach and take in the beautifully lit and landscaped terrace.

The master bedroom was generously sized and deserves a photo. Its bathroom is awesome with a sunken shower. Our tween/teen boys stayed in the second bedroom which was smaller but they only need to sleep there. The sheets were beautiful in both rooms. The second bathroom is a half bath so we needed to plan for showers for four people but it was worth it. For people with young children, Jon told us that the wall between the bedrooms retracts.

We made good use of the washer/dryer which was handy. We found all the glassware and dishes we needed in the kitchen to enjoy snacks we picked up locally.

Jon gave us a map and restaurant recommendations which were very helpful.

He called us a taxi for a 7:30 AM pick up on our final day as we weren't sure we could hail one. Turned out it wouldn't have been an issue but knowing that Jon called gave us peace of mind.

Speaking of peace of mind, knowing that Jon has a tourist license for the apartment meant we didn't need to have any concerns.

Our family of four loved the apartment and would definitely recommend it to others. Thanks, Jon!
