Greta's place was remarkably artful in its decor and presentation. One could feel the spirit of welcome in all aspects of the helpful communication and small elements that made the place a home rather than a hotel. So many artful details allowed a peek into the creative side of the hosts, and made this feel like a visit to a Scandinavian friend's house while they were away. The design of the patio welcomed the outside world into the apartment in a way that wonderfully expanded the space and feel of the place, and again, the decorative element was so supportive to the effect. The neighborhood is comfortable, not the least pretentious. And within it, this apartment is a gem, far above what you would expect just looking around the street. The welcome notes encourage you to feel like a neighborhood resident, though, which is how i felt by the end of my week. Lovely all around.
