"Just a quick email to say "Thank you" for letting us stay in your wonderful apartment last week. We enjoyed our visit tremendously and were very impressed with the accommodation you offered. The apartment was very clean, spacious and well-furnished. We particularly appreciated the additional items provided (salt, cooking oil, soap etc) which one normally has to buy when renting an apartment and also the help you gave us during our stay.
