Better than the pictures online! The space seemed larger than I imagined. The bathroom nearest the rooms is actually VERY large, even by American standards. Everything was well-maintained and spotless upon my arrival. I enjoyed the fruit basket that was provided.

The location is really great. I walked nearly everyday into town for a cappuccino or to walk/sit alongside the lake. The lake is a great spot for picnicking, writing, meditating or simply appreciating the wonders of nature through your eyes and ears. Several grocery stores are within a short walk from the home. The neighborhood that the home is nestled in is very quiet; however, you do get a bit of road noise. One suggestion: blinds or window coverings installed in the larger bathroom might allow for more privacy. Nearly everyday, a camper or some other truck was parked alongside the road adjacent to the house.

Overall, the space was bright and warm. I definitely felt soothed and peaceful within the apartment. For the amount of space, and the quality of the amenities within the space, the price is unbeatable!

A few amenities provided that I enjoyed:

1. The heated floors throughout, but especially in the bathrooms, made getting up on chilly mornings a breeze.

2. The clothes washer in the unit, itself -- really handy!

3. Bags for carrying items, thermos, tea and shoe brush. I made use of these items everyday, sometimes more than once.

4. Bath salts and soaps -- nice touch and unexpected.

Suggested item to add: matches! You have candles throughout the apartment, but I never found a lighter or any matches for lighting.

The property manager was extremely patient and quick in answering all of my questions, regarding the rental and reservation process. This was my first time renting from overseas, and having to make a direct deposit into the landlord's bank account left me a little nervous. Obviously, everything was legitimate!
