There had been a little glitch getting the hired car to pick us up at the airport, but we got a taxi and called Phil; he met us at the apartment so we could drop off our bags. There were fresh flowers in the living room and the kitchen had been stocked with the groceries we had ordered beforehand. He was very friendly and charming and provided us with a welcome packet that included all sorts of information about the apartment and neighborhood. Unfortunately, we couldn’t meet Fiona, as she was ill that week.
Was the listing description accurate?
Very accurate description, though the apartment was a bit smaller than expected. Still pretty, very clean, and homey. A surprisingly nice view from the terrace.
What was the neighborhood like?
Beautiful neighborhood with a gorgeous cathedral down the block, a huge market just a ten minute walk away, pretty buildings, cafes, the metro – and yet nice and quiet at night. Perfect.
Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we would definitely take advantage of Phil and Fiona’s hospitality again.
