Franz is a great host. He is highly supportive and informative and always there for you. The place is in a great location with gourmet restaurants of every nationality you can imagine. Every restaurant we went to was fabulous. Also there is a beautiful park just a few blocks away that is a very enjoyable walk. In addition a 24 hour grocery store is two blocks away. Also the train station is very easy to get to several blocks away and easy to find. I enjoyed the open format but some people may prefer a little more privacy that is the only caution I would provide so that the place is a good fit for you. It is important for you to understand that this is a non-traditional setting. But if you like an open format a little artsyAnd love good food and want to be in a great location for a decent price this is a place for you.
