We strongly recommend staying at Doug's and Michelle's apartment:
1) It's beautifully furnished. We loved the patio with the beautiful little garden.
2) It's perfectly situated. Close to Little Italy, Little Portugal and Chinatown with all the restaurants and shops. Using the tram downtown is just a stone's throw away.
3) Doug and Michelle are great hosts and very interesting people. Communication was uncomplicated, friendly and fast. They helped us wherever they could.
