Tom is a really great host! He is very enthusiastic in introducing the city and helping us plan the trip.
The place is very convenient to transportation, usually a 10 min walk to the nearest subway station, or 2 min to bus station. The day we were visiting was heavy snow, so the walking seems longer, but you would find it OK if weather is better.
Bring a hair dryer if you need one.
We got a parking ticket the day we left. Usually free parking on the street, but the police would unoccassionally checking during midnight. We got a $15 ticket, which happened around 4 am, reason was parked longer than 3 hours. Watch out for that if parking is your consideration.
Other than that, great visit!
