The apartment is clean and well set up. It was easy to check in and out. The exterior of the building does not look amazing but we felt safe walking in the neighborhood. The adjacent building was sometimes loud but it did not happen all the time. Overall it worked well for our weekend. The host is incredibly responsive and helpful. The beds are really comfortable and everything looked brand new in the interior. Could use some little things like a corkscrew and coffee maker. We enjoyed our stay.
