Our host's assistant was very welcoming but looking back we would have found a caution about the uneven front steps and info about the coin laundry more helpful than the introduction to the toaster and coffee maker. This apartment would be better advertised as a comfortable place for two sharing the very nice bedroom. The bedding and extra beds in the living room were inadequate for an 8 day stay. My friend and I were dismayed that it took over a day for a response to a complaint about the clunking refrigerator (compressor) and that it was not repaired or replaced (we turned it off at night, which was a poor resolution). The neighborhood was wonderful: beautiful, quiet and convenient to everything we wanted to do and see.
