Truly a 5-star experience from start to finish! Richard and his wife are kind and considerate, responsive and thoughtful hosts. The apartment is just perfect - small and outfitted with everything you could need. We arrived late with young kids in tow and were immensely grateful for the top of the line groceries including raw sugar, half n half, cream cheese, bagels, apples and bananas. The yard is huge and lovely. It is a short walk to the zoo and museums, street parking is easy. We loved it!
