Artful Comfort
My wife and I just completed an amazingly comfortable week’s stay at Ben and Toby’s apartment. From the map, one can see how their place is situated in a great location for exploration. Likewise, from the photos, one can see how well-appointed the space is. But we can attest to the comfort of the furniture, and the hospitality of the hosts. From the bathroom fixtures to the artwork, the aesthetic put us in a comfortable museum vibe. We can recommend staying at their apartment!

Luxury on the hill
Toby went out of his way to accommodate our requests. We had no idea what to expect but the finishing of the space was beautiful. A lovely contrast of tile and wood and a cozy bedroom. I’d definitely stay there again.
