The place is exactly as described, and the location was perfect. Michael was a great host, he was quick in answering all of our questions. Especially when we thought there was something wrong with the door because it won't open. Apparently you must turn the keys to the left and push the door to open.

The apartment is located on the 3rd floor, so you have to be fit and strong enough to carry all your suitcases all the way up, and the stairs are quite narrow and rather steep (think of Cinderella the classic cartoon, where her evil stepmother locked up in the attic, and the mice managed to steal the key and they had to climb up the stairs to deliver the key to her). This should not stop you from staying here, tho. It didn't stop us, we had 5 heavy suitcases, and we managed to drag 'em all the way up, and all the way down.

There are lots of restaurants around the apartment. The coffee shop downstairs served really good coffee - ask for a stamp card so you can get your 6th coffee for free. We love the Mud on 9th street, they got fantastic breakfast.

All and all, the place and the location is a gem, I would defo stay here again.
