#### Good place for a visit back home

The place was clean and welcoming. The apartment was well stocked amenities (soap, towels, bedding, coffee filters) and the host even had a few local snacks the kids enjoyed. The building was secure and clear instructions were left for entry/exit. Would stay again next time we visit family and friends.
