Marisa was very timely in her correspondence with us and in giving us additional information about the apt, the restaurants near by and which public transit would get you around. Also a very nice touch was the bus cards that we could easily load. Apartment was as portrayed. Nice large two bedroom apartment with enough kitchen pots and pans to prepare some of our own meals. Grocery shops and green grocers close by within ten minute walk as well as a great bakery.coffee spot at the end of the block. The only reservation we had was street noise with many buses and ambulances which did calm down over night. Ear plugs were needed which is never a surprise when travelling to any large city.
