The apartment was beautiful, recently updated, including new kitchen and bathroom and floors. All the things provided by hotels such as shampoo, shower gel and a hair dryer and the little things one uses at home were there, including scotch tape, scissors, mailing envelopes, cotton balls were all there. The host provided lots of info about how to get around and what to see and do for those new to the area. The apartment was sparkling clean and everything worked well. The host responded quickly to any questions that I had. It was the perfect place for me.
