Staying at Eric’s place worked very well for myself and my two sons. Since it was so close to the metro, we were able to quickly get to where we needed to go, plus there was plenty to do in the neighborhood, with it’s shops, restaurants, and for us especially, the nearby bike path was very enjoyable. We rode our bikes to Atwater Market, which took about 20 minutes. It was great getting back to the apartment and relaxing, before exploring some more. Eric was away and had his friend check on us, which was very nice. He gave us some tips on things to do. All and all, a great experience!
