The apartment was in excellent location with great food store right across the street. Recommendations by Deborah, who meet us at the apartment, about restaurants were all excellent. Street noise was expected and made us feel "connected" to the area. View of the city was wonderful. Air conditioning units worked very well even during the many days of 90 plus degrees and high humidity. Neighborhood always felt safe with great craft people shops. We did feel that the apartment could be stocked with few more basic staples to start such as laundry detergent, trash bags, dish towels, pot holders, salt and pepper. Expensive to buy all of these at start of 3 week stay.
