Brian was a great host, very attentive with questions before the trip and helpful in arranging transport from the airport for me and my husband, and taking the time to walk around the neighbourhood to point out various things (groceries, cafés, etc).
We had 2 weeks at the apartment and did a lot of walking around the area.
The area itself is very quiet, on the edge of Palermo Hollywood, but still within walking distance to restaurants and bars, but further from the more densely populated streets for restaurants/bars at night. We walked an average 15-20 mins to get to a restaurant in the area at night. The subte (subway system) is close by and easy to use - Brian provided a card to use for our stay that we added money to quite easily at a kiosk or at the station.
The apartment is spacious, well laid out, and is as the photos show.
