Lovely space
This host has thought of everything. She even has ideas of things to do in town. There is so much space in a small area plenty for two adults. We didn’t spend a lot of time inside since we were here to see our son and his family but when we were in the place we never felt uncomfortable. We made breakfast with the coffee pot, toaster oven and microwave. The small refrigerator is great for snacks and leftovers. We enjoyed the fact we could open the windows and get fresh air at night. Very clean and host asked several times if we needed anything since we stayed for 11 days.

Clean comfy stay
The studio was very clean and comfortable. The host was incredibly responsive
Everything was simply wonderful.
The apartment was clean, spacious, warm, and smells so nice.
If I could make a suggestion, I would say that as a 6ft tall person, the bed was a bit on the smaller side (Because of the frame), so if there's a bed without the frame it would be even better.
Looking forward to staying here again in the future!

Clean and Conveniently Located
Nice and very clean intimate studio. It was perfect for my wife and I. We were out most of the day and night exploring the city with our daughter who lives there. We just needed as nice clean place to shower and sleep. Conveniently located near many good eating places and shopping. Will consider staying here again.
