Joel was a great host who responded immediately to every email. The apartment was very clean and good size for two people. It is located down a long stairway so one needs to be able to carry suitcases several stories down - and up again. The apartment is located in a residential neighborhood up in the hills with super-easy parking. The decor is conceptually very spartan and worked well for our needs. We stayed for three nights while visiting family close-by.
