Carlos was on holiday when we came, so his amazing friend helped us out! Haley was so nice and wonderful and showed us everything we needed to know. She was always just a phone call away if we needed her and she was very helpful.

The apartment looked just the the pictures and the location was great. As a foodie who loves to cook, I would say that the kitchen might need some improvement (there are no good cutting knives and no big sauce pan, and I missed a garlic press) but then again, I am a snob when it comes to cooking. If you're planning to eat out a lot you'll be glad to know there is a coffee maker, which is probably all you need really. But if you're planning to cook during your stay here, I can recommend the farmers market just a block away (next to the civic center), they sell amazing vegetables, fruit and berries -perfect! And Wholefoods is really close as well.

The garage is a bit tricky, I wouldn't have dared to park there on my own because the risk of scratching the car is so big. The space is so small, if you're two one can step out of the car and help the driver but if you're alone you're in for a real challenge.

It was a surprisingly quiet apartment even though it was so central, we never heard the neighbors or the traffic!

To sum it up: Wonderful city, wonderful apartment, wonderful host! Thank you so much!
