Our host, Steve, made us feel very welcome right from the start. The location of his home was perfect for us. It is in walking distance to shops, restaurants, bars and even a fun movie theater. The apartment was very clean and spacious with plenty of light. The bedding and fireplace made it cozy and comfortable too. There IS family activity on the first floor, which you can hear from the basement apartment however, this was not a problem for us since we were out from morning to late night, every day. We experienced some very hot days outside and it was quite the relief to return to the nice cool basement apartment for a good night's rest. Thank you!
