Christiane's place is exactly as described, European minimalist. You will have everything you need in her beautiful basement apartment. Fresh flowers were a great touch! Gretchen was the host, and though I never met her (I met Rebeka instead, who is soo personable and sweet!) she made sure I had the best stay. She even provided bagels, coffee, almond milk (my preference), eggs, and other goodies in the fridge! She even sent us off with a little goodie bag that consisted of a nice handwritten note and yummy snacks! The only downside was there was construction going on a couple of the days we were there, but Christiane was sweet enough to give us a $20 gift card to a local restaurant for the inconvenience ( which really didn't bother us at all).
Location is great! Many things in walking distance, especially since you are only two streets over from Colfax. Overall, I will recommend this place to my friends and hopefully can stay there again sometime! ☺
