we loved our stay at this property. Megan has impecable taste and the apartment is just charming. The location is the best. Really nice restaurants and cafes walking distance, cool neighborhood and tranquil street. The poverty is just as you see in the pictures. Everything feels new. Megan was helpful and quick to reply to all of my messages and made sure I had all the info I needed prior to my arrival. We had a great time. 5 stars!
