Lauren's home located in a multiple residential building, was just as pictured, bright, clean and lovely. It is blocks from the Lake and walkable to downtown. A selection of tea and coffee was provided which was nice after many days of traveling around Europe.
I did not give a 5 star rating only because of the following:
There were not any large knives for cooking and a fairly small selection of pans.
Patio chairs would be nice. And, while the beds were comfortable, 3 of the 4 bedrooms had thick cot-like mattresses on cardboard frames. The pictures show these.
The biggest bummer for us was the multiple reminders about house rules, mainly around quiet hours and hallway scuffs leading up to the apartment before and during our stay. We had dinner there with 6 family members and I was concerned that our laughter before 10pm may be disturbing others even though it is a very solid cement home and we kept patio doors closed. I also felt compelled to let her know the hallway was already scuffed when we arrived and she asked that I take pictures as she assumed it was the prior guest.
Otherwise, great home and location for very quiet people!!
