We didn't have the pleasure of meeting Salima and Tehsin in person, but they were always quick to respond to our messages. Their description of the place is very clear, and thus no unpleasant surprises. The apartment is really cute, and feels almost like a tree house...but better! The location feels like country, but is only minutes from downtown. So, about the stairs....they're not lying! There are a lot of them. But, I'm happy to say that I met my daily Fitbit challenge (Mary) while there! Thank you for the lovely stay!
