It was my first time staying at an Airbnb place where the host was not on site or even in the country. Whilst I realised this after booking, I'd have preferred a more personal touch - and certainly some contact during our 5 day stay there. However prior to arriving, I was emailed lots of info about the apartment, the area and recommended restaurants but when I asked a particular question about where to find specialist food shops, whilst I was told there were some, no info re name/location was supplied.

As we were 2 women, having an extra mirror (ideally a full-length mirror (under the clock) would be great), as well as more loo paper (one of us was ill). The location is excellent and all that is written on the profile is true. There are some lovely small cafes for breakfast and a great bakery (more a patisserie) close by. The apartment itself was very clean and comfortable and I would definitely recommend it. I wasn't aware that the owner has a number of other apartments - if I had known I would have enquired about a balcony/terrace availability. I just now know what to expect next time :-)
