The listing description is accurate and the apartment is quite comfortable -- it is easy to feel at home in this environment. The property is child- and pet-friendly. The host's policy that dogs are not to be left unattended for more than one hour is strict. As a result, dining out may pose some difficulty if one has a dog with him/her. This was not a problem for us nor did it impact our stay since we never left our pooch unattended. Guests who bring dogs should also be aware that a neighbor is hypersensitve to dog barking so even minimal barking causes the host concern. The community is wonderful with many great restaurants, pubs, etc. within walking distance of the apartment. The zoo is very close as well which is an additional draw for adults and children alike.
