The location of this place is fantastic; it is very close to shopping and restaurants on Centre Street, but also tucked back far enough where there is little traffic and noise. It is a great bargain; it was tidy and there was more than enough space for the two of us and our two pups. Marianne was extremely welcoming, and we really appreciated finding such a dog-friendly location. Plenty of towels, pillows, and little touches like a welcoming basket made us feel right at home. The apartment is pretty much as described in the listing; it is a little "shabby chic," and there are a few sets of steep winding stairs that may be tough for some, especially with luggage. But it is clean, spacious, and the host was very kind. The only thing I wish we had known ahead of time is that there is not really a door to the unit; the staircase opens right up into the hallway of the apartment. So, we did feel that we needed to be quite cautious of noise and put up a gate to keep the pups off the stairs. But highly recommend!
