Our stay at Caroline's apartment was very pleasant and a great base for our trip to NYC. The apartment was very clean and newly renovated, had lots of natural light, and the kitchen was great to cook in. There are also three really lovely housemates who are very kind and helpful! We felt very much at home for our stay.
The room was really cozy and the bed, though it's just a mattress, was comfortable! Unfortunately there was no storage space or place to unpack anything. Since we stayed for 8 nights , this was a bit of an inconvenience, but it was overall a perfect accommodation for us.
The neighborhood, though it had many great cafes, bars, and plenty of character, was a bit dirty and loud. The apartment is located very close to a metro stop, and while that is convenient for transportation, it means that a train passes quite loudly and frequently. On the plus side, the apartment is conveniently located, there is a supermarket, laundromat, and a good wine store very close by. This is all outlined in the welcome packet - and though it was a little odd in tone, it has really useful recommendations and information!
Though we never actually met Caroline, we were in contact with her friend Guillian who organized our arrival at the apartment. Overall this was a great place to stay! Thanks Caroline!
