The host definitely succeeded on making us feel like we're at home. The house we rented was the same as it was written and the qualities weren't exaggerated. The flat was cleaned beforehand for us, and the kitchen tools were as clean as they weren't used before. Plus, we loved the fact that the flat got great amount of sunshine. Eventhough we thought that the apartment not having an elevator would be a problem for us before coming, we definitely saw that it wasn't a big deal.
