The host was so friendly and welcoming and the apartment is very nice. The location is excellent - in the middle of many, many restaurants and shops. It's a very busy area, but with the windows shut, most noise is blocked out. The host also had a very detailed house manual, which was helpful in understanding how to operate the appliances. She included and told us in person about restaurants that she thought were great and that we should try. The only negative I have to comment on is that there was a very strong odor of what appeared to be cat urine that would come through the master bedroom and sometimes into the rest of the apartment. It helped to leave the windows open, but then a lot of noise came in, which made it difficult to sleep.
