Marc was an excellent host, contacting me immediately with suggestions, directions, and other tips once we booked. He also offered to allow us to check in early (though we wound up not taking advantage of that offer). In his communications were everything we needed to feel confident about checking in and staying there.
The apartment itself was thoughtful, tasteful, and absolutely perfect for the three of us (mom and two boys, aged 10 and 13). We have stayed at AirBnBs several times in the US and abroad, and sometimes, well, you don't feel like it's a special event, or that the host has taken steps to make it feel special. Marc did that, in spades. It really felt like we were his special guests, and that he had put a lot of effort into thinking about how to make the time we had there better and more enjoyable. Thank you Marc!
We had wonderful weather, which is not a given. Had it been cold and rainy, I think the place might have felt a little confining, but I wouldn't change anything about our time. Wonderful trip.
