This was my first experience staying at an airbnb listing, and everything went really well. James was attentive and helpful, and told me he was available at any time for anything I needed, which was very reassuring. He was able to accommodate me for both checking in and checking out. The apartment is located in a very fun and lively area, yet it was still quiet. The furnishings are fine, and we were happy to have the tv and internet set-up. The apartment is nothing fancy, just standard, but definitely acceptable for a short stay. James provided us with towels, but not wash clothes, but after I called him, he brought some right over. My only minor complaint was that the kitchen was missing some basic things, like a microwave and pan to cook with. James and I spoke about this, and he said he was in the process of getting a microwave and I bought a pan, so we managed to do without. I got the impression that the apartment was a work in progress, and I think James will continue to make it better. Besides the slight disappointment with the kitchen, it was an excellent stay and I would most definitely recommend staying in one of James' properties.
