Larissa is a great host with a great place to offer. The apartment is spacious, airy and very clean, with thoughtful touches everywhere. All the kitchen utensils and cookware and bathroom amenities are there (loved the shower curtain!). It is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood that is about a 20-minute drive to downtown. Our day often started late so having a place to get breakfast was important; this problem was solved when I discovered a nice cafe/bakery (called Dollops) that was a mere five-minute walk away. Just one reminder for the potential future guest: the apartment is on the second floor and the stairs are rather steep. My parents are both in their eighties and they managed, but I think this is something that anyone traveling with elders (or people who just don't like stairs!) should keep in mind. All in all, this was a very pleasant stay and I'd recommend it to families looking for a place that is less like a hotel room and more like a home.
