Nick was in touch with me via text and email prior to my arrival and met me at the metro stop. He gave me a brief tour of his neighborhood including recommended bakeries, cafes, and restaurants. Once we got to his place he showed me my room and provided detailed indications on a map of how to get from his place to major points of interest. He was also happy to answer any questions or give advice on the logistics of my trip or to make recommendations. Depending on your own style, Nick will either stay out of your way or be sociable.

The listing is accurate. His accommodations were even cleaner and more comfortable than I was expecting.

The neighborhood is friendly and nice to walk around, day or night.
