This is a great place to stay to explore the central historic district. You are within walking distance of practically everything including public transportation if you want to venture out to other areas. The neighborhood is lively on weekends/holidays, the locals friendly, and the building well-maintained and relatively quiet. The apartment is comfortable, clean, and looks exactly like the photos. I didn't meet John but he was quick to respond to emails, and the check-in/check-out process is extremely easy. This was my second time staying in this building -- though my first in this apt -- and I probably will ask to stay here again whenever I return.
