We showed up earlier than expected as we caught the red eye in. My husband and I sat on the stoop and the friendly neighbor next door pulled up a sitting pillow and gave great conversation until our host showed up. Susan graciously checked us in about an hour early and had homemade choc Chip cookies ready for us.. seriously delicious!
The apt itself is gorgeous! Walking distance to SO MUCH culture! Definitely a local area.
One thing.. this home is not private. It is easily accessible from the owner's apt. Susan's husband wandered into our rental and I am thankful we were napping, and not doing other private things.
Had I known this apartment was not private would not have booked it. It was DEFINITELY a SCARY and CREEPY encounter. I worried about the slow and quiet intentional way he crept into our apartment. Susan did mention that he struggled with dementia, but Ididn't get that feeling speaking with him. Had we not been there what would have happened? Had we been engaging in private time, how humiliating and intrusive, had we been asleep would he have lingered longer?
My only recommendation would be to seal this opening. Regardless of the intent or not, this was clearly NOT a private apartment.
