Vrbo: Wow!

Bruce’s Airbnb was absolutely perfect in every way. From the beautiful furnishings and fresh flowers to the high-tech Japanese-style toilets, every detail was amazing. The location is incredibly convenient, situated right in the heart of the city near countless restaurants and activities. The back entrance opens directly onto a scenic riverside walking trail, while the front entrance leads straight to the vibrant downtown scene. Inside, Bruce provides every amenity you could possibly need, along with a detailed guide explaining how to operate everything. The guide's restaurant recommendations were also a huge help for dining choices. We felt completely at home and could have stayed indefinitely!

Airbnb: Absolutely perfect!

Bruce's penthouse is the gold standard for rentals. The panoramic views of the mountains and city skyline are jaw-dropping, and the private rooftop terrace became our favorite spot for morning coffee & evening wind-downs. The apartment itself is stunning. Spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained with thoughtful touches throughout.The location is unbeatable; we walked everywhere - great restaurants, markets, and parks just minutes away. For remote workers, the dedicated workspace with docking station and fast internet is a genuine find.Bruce's Welcome Guide deserves its own shoutout - it's packed with restaurant recommendations, local tips, and equipment manuals, it honestly rivals a professional guidebook. The hospitality from both Bruce and his apt manager, Cecilia is exceptional. They are warm, responsive, and go above and beyond at every turn. Between the two of them, you feel truly and genuinely looked after.We would return without hesitation. Highest possible recommendation!
