The host is extremely responsive, which is great. The apartment is well equipped (especially the kitchen and bathroom). It is extremely convenient being able to access both the building and apartment with codes rather than physical keys; that means no need to meet the host in person or worry about check-in timing. This apartment has some good views of the sound and it is in more of a quiet residential area - not tons of dining opens immediately nearby, but this place is not that far from downtown and other nearby areas with a lot more dining options (lots of great options in a 15 to 20 minute walk away). It was pretty convenient to walk our dog in the area. We wish the floors had been a bit more clean, but everything else was very clean. We had an overall good experience.
