Gracious hosts, always responded to our requests. and questions. Alix brought in a blender for us to use as soon as we mentioned we would like one. The apartment was spacious and clean and nicely decorated with a good working kitchen. We were attending a retreat and the location was 10 minutes away. Location was close to anything we wanted to visit. We could walk to a coffee shop and a few restaurants, we wanted. The fact that it is a basement apartment with two adults and two dogs above should be considered but the hosts were away for much of the time and they were very quiet and even the two dogs were considerate, cute and didn't walk around after 9 or so. A great stay! We would definitely chose this again.
