The apartment was lovely and sparkling clean. Everything has recently been newely refurbished, and decorated with style. All the appliances are new and functional as well. The host has thought of everything her guests might need, so you can find toiletries, towels, bed linen, blankets, kitchen cloths, detergents, a hair drier, an iron, a sewing kit, umbrellas, chargers, some medicines, etc. All these details show that Helena really cares about her guests. If I had needed a new pair of shoelaces I'm sure I would have found those somewhere too :-) I highly recommend it!
