I had a great stay at Elana and Claudio’s beautifully-designed apartment. As other reviewers have said, these exceptional hosts have thought of everything. The apartment was warm (guest controls thermostat) and there was a Brita water filter in the refrigerator (a huge relief — no more lugging bottled water from the store). The neighborhood was convenient and safe. I used the 22 bus (five minute walk away) to get downtown on the days I didn’t have time to walk. I enjoyed going to Fujiya (12 minute walk) for their excellent lunch bowls and sushi. I also enjoyed nearby Flourist’s baked goods (7 minute walk). Elana and Claudio were always quick to respond, and so kind and accommodating when I needed to leave a few hours later than checkout time. The apartment was stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. They are super hosts, and it shows. : ). A++++++++++
