We never met our host face to face, he was easy to contact, and his place was clean. The location is a little north of downtown, but we actually preferred it as it is right off the river which is a pleasant walk into downtown about an hour away. There are T-trains close to the apartment which also can be used to get around if you are not in the mood for a walk. Quiet neighbors and relaxing surroundings. Lastly, we received a warm welcome upon arrival with snacks and beer should we want them.
