Wonderful hosts. Apartment is a very nice location, very close to shopping/restaurants and transportation. We took taxis everywhere from a taxi stand a block away, but there's also subway access just a short walk away . Apartment has traditional touches like window shutters and exposed brick walls but is completely updated with new stylish/contemporary appliances and fixtures in bathrooms and kitchen. Air conditioning worked great even in late July heat! We had everything we needed to make our vacation home feel like a real home.
