Shal is a superb host - very communicative - and the apartment is lovely. The apartment is beautifully decorated and very clean and cozy. The gas fireplace was a dream to come home to during a major rainstorm. Extremely well-equipped apartment as well. Just be aware that it is on a steep hill - was good for some much needed exercise, but may be difficult for anyone with strength or balance issues. All in all a really lovely stay. Thanks, Shal!
