The apartment was as seen in photos. A bit small for 5 people, but that is what we expected. The beds were comfortable, the location was perfect. The neighbour felt safe. Parking to unload our bags worked out perfectly. There were no free spots available on the street for overnight or daytime parking so used paid parking just down the street. Prior to arrival communication with host was good. We had some requests upon our arrival( more bath towels, face clothes, hand towels, drying towels for dishes, flat sheet for the couch). While our requests were acknowledged, they were never responded to. I feel these were reasonable requests and if handled promptly, would have resulted in a higher rating. We were also surprised to find people in the apartment upon our arrival. Not sure if they were employees of the owner. This caused us some discomfort, not knowing who could access the apartment during our stay.
