Our hosts were very upbeat and welcoming. They showed us how the heat and fireplace worked and let us know that the goods in the pantry were ours to use. They had also provided us with local snacks and craft beer which was made nearby. The refrigerator was packed with anything we might want for breakfast for our entire stay. There is a full kitchen; we could have prepared dinners for ourselves easily.
The neighborhood was quiet and very well located near stores and restaurants. My husband loves to take mass transportation in the cities we visit ---so he walked a short way to the bus stop and went downtown for an afternoon.
The apartment itself was bright, cheery and very comfortable. We loved sitting by the gas fire when we returned in the evening.
