The apartment is lovely and spacious, with all of the amenities and supplies we could imagine needing during our visit (e.g., laundry, pots and pans, glassware, etc.). We would definitely stay here again.
Perhaps more importantly, Barbara, the manager, is amazing--extremely thoughtful, gracious, and informative. She really cares about the guests. In fact, this is the second time I rented an apt from her. The first time was great, exceeding expectations, though I never wrote a review. This time, a year later, I visited with my family, and we initially rented a different apartment. Upon arrival, the (other) apartment was in bad shape, with lots of problems, and with no response from the rental company. We were pretty miserable. But as my wife begin looking for last minute alternative hotel options, I thought to send Barbara an email to see if she might have anything available beginning that very night. It was a long shot. But Barbara replied within about 15 minutes. She remembered me, and also happened to have this apartment available for the nights we needed it. I can only assume that she had to drop everything to prepare the apartment, process the reservation, and then meet us at about 9:00 pm to let us in. We were so happy and grateful. She saved our trip. And, the apartment was perfect.
So, we can't say enough good things about Barbara (and the apartments she handles are very nice too!). Next time, I won't mess around with another agency but will go straight to her.
