Clean, comfortable and a safe and nice neighborhood is how I would describe Dan's place. There's a big supermarket around the corner, hardware store 3 doors down, laundromat (although there's a wash machine in the apartment but no dryer), some places to eat, coffee shops, wifi was excellent, but more importantly, the subway and bus stops are minutes away which will help in this area since the apartment is just outside the main areas, so the public transport system is something you'll have to learn to use, although is very easy to learn. The only thing I can think of that was not quite there, initially, is the communication from the host. Other than that, generally, I would stay here again without hesitation.
Mt personal tips: learn the public transit system; learn some Spanish, and don't forget to bring your electric outlet adapter if you're coming from the Americas.
