Lois was a wonderful host. She was prompt and clear in her communication leading up to our stay. In addition, she is truly interested in the AirBNB spirit of meeting new people, demonstrating this by being personable and conversational instead of merely transactional.

The apartment is better than in the photos! It is actually quite charming, especially for a basement apartment. It has plenty of room for larger groups with the only limitation being that it has only one bathroom. We were two couples with a crawling infant and a toddler. Lois provided a highchair, a travel crib, baby dishes and bibs, and plug point protectors, making traveling with the children easy and making us feel welcome and comfortable. The apartment entrance is away from the rest of the family so you don't feel like you are intruding or in danger of being too noisy as you enter or exit.

Lois was responsive when we noticed leaks during a night of rain; the leaks didn't actually affect us at all but when we reported them, Lois was ready to help. One thing we appreciated is that Lois has labeled the kitchen cabinets-- no more opening every single one to find the thing you are looking for! It was a nice touch that made our stay easier.

Parking was fairly easy, and we were warned about street cleaning. We didn't end up using public transportation or the grocery store, so I can't speak to the availability or proximity of those.

Bottom line, we really enjoyed our stay.
