The host was there to pick us up from the airport, so it was very comforting that we would get to her place and the personal connection of getting to know who you are renting from and probably for her as well. We used the hot tub and swimming pool every night. The location is very close to a subway and on the main drag of a bus to go downtown .Always had an alarm clock , someone always had a noisy truck in the back alley at 6:30 am. Thank you for the use of your home, very nice.
