The apartment looked as described. Arrival was a bit sketchy--I had told Caroline when we'd arrive and she said she'd inform the housekeeper, but upon meeting him he said we were lucky to have arrived when we did since he was on his way out b/c he hadn't hear when we'd arrive....

Bottom line: my travel companion was bit by BED BUGS. We had to have all of our personal belongings sprayed with chemicals by the housekeeper (sort of humiliating to have to lay out your underwear for a man you don't know to douse with bug spray) then follow precautionary measures at home (leave bags outside, wash all clothes in hot water, etc.). Thankfully we didn't bring any bugs home and I wasn't bit, but my friend has bites on her ankles and feet. Beware.
