I just stayed for two weeks in Diane's apartment, and I found it to be extremely comfortable, stylish, full of art and books and music. I liked that it overlooks a quiet courtyard; it felt like being part of a community.
The neighborhood is lively, not too touristy, lots of good restaurants, easy access to transport, very walkable.
I highly recommend Diane's apartment. She was also very easy to communicate with before and during my stay, which I verymuch appreciated.
