Alison was helpful, accommodating and prompt in all of our correspondence. When we arrived, we really liked the neighborhood and its easy access to good coffee shops and restaurants. It was always easy to park right in front of the apartment. The apartment itself was very clean and seemed well equipped, though we didn't use the kitchen. Alison left a bottle of wine, and cheese and crackers, which was thoughtful and welcoming. We were also charmed by the poetry box in the front garden (passersby can take or leave a poem).

In my view, the apartment is best suited to 1-2 adults, since there is one small bathroom and one (double) bed, but children could be accommodated on the sofa beds. (For us, it felt a bit crowded to have 3 adults there, but we ended up only sleeping and showering at the apartment and spending the rest of the time with our relatives.) We would have liked to have use of the fireplace as it was pictured, but instead there's a plug in electric one placed in front of the one pictured, and we didn't use it.

I'd recommend this apartment for anyone seeking clean, reasonably priced and welcoming accommodation with period character in Uptown.
