First impressions: the best pre-arrival communication I've had with a host (photos included and a note on what side of the tube station to exit!), beautiful neighborhood. Was a little apprehensive when we entered the building. The common areas are a dated and there are definitely people in the building that smoke in their units. Once you enter the space you are renting though, none of that is evident. Pristinely clean, very quiet, just super nice. They also left me a birthday treat which was a sweet touch. My daughter and I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this rental.
