Erik is a great host and his place is in a great, convenient location with nice amenities. Erik himself was charming, helpful and flexible in accommodating our needs. Unfortunately, despite brief mention of it in the ad, not having read the ad carefully and not being a cat owner, I was not expecting to be living with a cat and not aware of all that entails. I'm allergic and the smell is just impossible to "clean away". Since that was the ONLY disappointment with our stay, (the cat was otherwise super chill and well behaved) I'd say that I'd HIGHLY recommend Erik's place to anyone who likes or doesn't mind cats, and I take full responsibility for not reading the ad more thoroughly and understanding the implications of a cat in the home.
