Everything was as described, and a few things were better. Security was visible and professional. The WiFi was solid for video calls. The host sent clear directions and was easy to reach.

Short stay between flights. Spotless and exactly as pictured. The desk and chair made working from the apartment easy. Hot shower every morning with good pressure. Our host was welcoming and gave good restaurant tips.

Came for a wedding. Very good stay overall. Power went off one evening and the generator took over within seconds. Check-in was smooth and the host replied within minutes.

Here for a conference. Nice place, and I'd stay again. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook. They were great about our dog. Our host was welcoming and gave good restaurant tips. The sofa could be a little firmer.

Weekend away with friends. Felt safe and at home from the first night. The backup generator meant no stress about blackouts. The host sent clear directions and was easy to reach.
