Our stay with Lauren was excellent! She was communicative and responsive from booking to checkout. The apartment is very clean and comfortable, modern and beautifully decorated. Beds are comfortable and the bedrooms provided good private spaces for us and our teenage boys when we needed to checkout from the common rooms. We enjoyed the privacy of the backyard, the setup is adorable and the hot tub was a bonus luxury. The neighbors upstairs have a private deck off of their apartment (with stairs to the backyard for fire safety) but they do not share the backyard space - the yard is private and for Lauren's apartment only. The neighborhood was wonderful to explore and full of great places to eat and shop. Close and easy access to the subway made getting around a breeze. We highly recommend staying here!!
