I expected this apartment from its photos to be very sparse, but upon arrival I was surprised to find it to be very comfortable and to have all the amenities we needed and more. The apartment is large, with plenty of common space and good sized bedrooms. The beds are firm but comfortable. There are plenty of linens to use. The shower / tub is large. There was plenty of hot water and water pressure. The kitchen has the essentials you need (except a French press!, no big issue, we had one with us!). There was a lot of local information for your use and directions regarding the apartment, which was helpful. The location is superb, a very brief walk to the lake and directly around the corner from the Metro stop. We would definitely stay at this apartment again!
