Although I travel about 50% of the time for work, I have (for the most part) stopped using hotels about two years and instead use Airbnb where I have had one great experience after another. My experience, however, with Mary and Jim is off the charts. Having had the good fortune of meeting Mary and Jim and staying in their beautiful apartment it is easy for me to say that this has been (hands down) the best Airbnb experience I have had.

Communication with Mary was great as she responded quickly before, during, and after my stay. And although nobody would expect (nor should you) prior to check-in Mary asked if there was anything she could get to have on hand for me for breakfast. Upon check-in and an inquiry to the nearest grocery store, Mary insisted on driving me to the grocery store then waiting for me before driving me back. PLEASE do not expect this because nobody should anticipate such things. I only mention to illustrate how nice and an extraordinary these people are. I will never forget this experience. Mary is AMAZING!!!

As for the apartment, like its owners, it too is amazing and the photos DO NOT do it justice. The apartment is stunningly beautiful and deserves to be treated like your own home (or better). The furnishings are all high quality and beautiful. So often the pots and pans are the owner’s old stuff that are old and scratched and more or less something I would rather not use. Mary and Jim, however, have a provided a dream kitchen with everything being top-of-line.

The bed is extremely comfortable made with high quality silk sheets. The bathroom was so clean and beautiful I wanted to take it with me. lol.

This is a nice place. Although not their rule (it should be), Don’t wear shoes inside and enjoy a luxurious experience.

Located in a great neighborhood that is not only beautiful and safe but also very quit. I used Uber to get downtown, which took just a few minutes and cost around $7.50.

I provide this stellar review with bitter sweetness because I want to keep it at secret and all to myself. Joking aside, should you have the good fortune to stay in this apartment, look no further and book immediately before someone else does.
