The apartment was exactly as advertised, no adverse surprises but plenty of positive. Perfect location and it had plenty of living space and 3 bedrooms to easily handle a family of four adults. Very convenient to a subway station, restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries, and grocery stores.
From the hosts informational text messages, quick responses, and the things we noticed with the apartment; it became readily apparent to my wife and I that a major goal of the hosts was to make the guest(s) stay as hassle and stress free as possible. Starting with having detailed instructions on how to get into the apartment and ending with very little departure requirements for the guests (which seems such a rarity nowadays). Also, it was the little touches that really added up: plenty of coffee already available, most common kitchen appliances present (even an electric kettle), lots of towels, plenty of blankets and pillows, and plenty of bathroom and kitchen supplies. Basically, everything already available in anticipation of what guests might need so that all they had to do was focus on enjoying their stay.
What really demonstrated the hosts going the extra mile for their guests was the very much appreciated overtime effort to prepare the apartment for the very early arrival of our sons who were flying in from Durham, NC and were having to hang around several hours before we arrived by car. The hosts didn't want our sons to be inconvenienced so they worked in the evening hours getting the apartment ready. Thank you so much for that.
By the way, on our way home, we talked about what we enjoyed about our trip. Right up there with the Boston touristy stuff we enjoyed was the apartment. Not one complaint about the apartment. It was perfect with a great location and its accommodations.
Again, thank you so much for all that you have done to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.
