We arrived to the apartment in the evening and our host had saved us a parking spot right in front of the building. The walkways were shoveled and salted. The apt is in an amazing food area, where you can have food delivered at all hours!! We ended up catching Covid (caught before arriving /diagnosed right after arriving)
THIS HOST COUPLE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE KIND AND THOUGHTFUL.
To find yourself sick during a pandemic while away from home is a scary thing. While it would be easy for strangers to treat us like lepers, David and his wife cleaned snow off our car and shoveled our car out in case we needed to go get tested again. They would check on us if we needed medicine etc.
IN SHORT, THEY ARE ANGELS.
The apartment itself was really such a blessing. It is bright and cosy and spacious. Depending how we felt, one of us could be working in the living room, while the other streamed movies or YouTube in the back bedroom. Having access to a washer and dryer in the unit, not to mention a dishwasher (WHICH IS NECESSARY WHEN YOU'RE SICK!!), and a full sized kitchen was wonderful.
I mean that in every sense. We had the best possible luck (in choosing this apartment) during our most vulnerable time.
Just so incredibly grateful for this host family and their beautiful location.
