Yes, the kitchen was fully equipped with numbers of appliances and everything we needed to cook/entertain on Christmas. The apartment was clean with beautiful artwork in every room. A welcome and instruction book for how to use/regulate/turn on appliances and entertainment would have been helpful. The landlord was very responsive to our several communications for assistance/direction. The only negative was that we had difficulty regulating the temperature to keep it at a comfortable setting.
