Great place in a fantastic neighborhood, with a host who is very communicative and helpful. Would be an especially good place for those interested in the nightlife scene, because while the neighborhood is "vibrant," as described, it is also extremely loud. The apartment borders a bar/nightclub that can be heard and felt from the apartment until the early hours of the morning. So bring earplugs or--for those who like to dance-- a "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em attitude." :-) The proximity to historic sites and transportation can't be beat, and be sure to check out the cafe right below the apartment, which is wonderful.
