Cathy and Bruce were great hosts. Easy to communicate with and flexible with check in/out. Great with making recommendations on restaurants/sights. They gave us a parking pass for zone 6, metro cards too. They offered to let us use their patio. They have two sweet dogs and fostering a third. We heard them pitter patter in the morning and evening above us but we weren't bothered by them. We sleep with a white noise machine anyway, and it helped block out any sounds in and out of the apartment. We made the bedroom work for us. King side bed, which was very soft and comfy, and we had brought a twin size air mattress for our 6 year old and pack and play for our 2 year old. We could've had our 6 year old sleep on the pull out sofa but my husband and I like to stay up later than the kids so it worked for them to go in the bedroom where they could sleep. Cathy offered up a large sized air mattress as well (I think a queen?) but that wouldn't have fit in the bedroom. There were cookies and coffee cake waiting for us along with a variety of snacks and wine/beer/soda and an assortment of condiments in the fridge, along with eggs. Coffee supplied, and assortment of tea bags. Sugar and sugar substitutes were available. They also mentioned if there was something we needed, and it wasn't supplied in the apartment, to call or knock on their front door to ask if they had it. We were happy we chose to stay here.
