The apartment was very nice. It looked as pretty as the photos. The neighborhood was not as upscale as the apartment. There were numerous folks (homeless?) who lingered near the apartment building and made my daughter uncomfortable. I felt safe enough. The balcony was great for enjoying morning coffee. The trolley stops right next to the apartment. Very convenient for getting around. It would have been helpful to have had available some tourist information (local maps, trolley schedules, sightseeing information, food shopping suggestions). The host were very responsive. The apartment was minimally outfitted with conveniences (wifi, hand soap, shampoo etc). There was no printer, the tv did not work, few dishes, no basic supplies like extra toilet paper, sugar, etc. to make settling in easier.
