The apartment was lovely and very clean. It was exactly like the photos. The neighborhood was lively with nice cafes and a grocery store in the next block. Peining was very helpful throughout my first airbnb experience. When I called her the first day to ask about parking she returned my call immediately and gave several suggestions. There are two bus lines right at the apartment which we used sometimes, so it isn't necessary to have a car if you don't need it for longer trips. We had a great vacation!
