Noel was a great host! The apartment is gorgeous, and it was clean and well-set up when I arrived. I appreciated that she went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed when I arrived. The neighborhood was a bit worse than I expected, but I never felt unsafe. Negotiating the length of the stay was a slight ordeal, but well worth it given the quality of the apartment. Overall, it felt like this was my home for the two weeks I stayed, and that feeling goes a long way.
