Beautiful, spacious apartment with period features in a great neighborhood.

Sadly, had trouble getting in because the lockbox malfunctioned. Keys were delivered by the owner's local assistant, though only after considerable back and forth/delay. Admittedly, the inconvenience this created was magnified by the fact that I arrived at 930pm and there was nowhere nearby to wait.

Upon entering, I was disappointed to find that, although wine/chocolate/fruit were kindly provided, there were no items that some might consider 'essential'—in particular, shower gel. For a few hundred dollars a night, I believe Airbnb should advise hosts to provide the same items a hotel would provide. I understand that shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, etc are not considered 'essentials' under Airbnb's definition, but it's a simple act of empathy to provide items that are standard in hotels of a similar price point. Just my opinion.

After these minor inconveniences, the rest of my stay was very good. The house is very pleasant, clean and aesthetically decorated. The bed was very comfortable. Wonderful to have access to the washer/dryer. Communication with Julie was prompt and kind.
