I always enter a new short-term rental with some trepidation. Will it live up to the listing? In this case, yes; yes it does. The apartment is exactly as it looks in the photos: It’s spacious, well laid out, charming, and most critically, very clean.
One of my pet peeves is hosts who are miserly with supplies, but Debbie went above and beyond. This rental is amply equipped. Among other things, there were Keurig coffee pods (hallelujah!), some toiletries, a first aid kit, even ice packs in the freezer (a Christmas miracle because we needed them). That’s one BIG measure of a truly great host. I’ll never understand why more hosts don’t understand how much those amenities mean to their renters.
I have a couple of quibbles. First, the latch plate on the gate was loose, so we couldn’t lock the gate during our stay. Second, the kitchen could use a better frying pan. We like a good pan for making breakfasts. These shortcomings are both easily rectified.
In short, great apartment!
