We felt very welcome at Rubin's. However, it was a little more "rustic" than we were expecting. The area is centrally located and noisy. There was a lot of street noise and action until late into the night. The apartment is ok and reminded me of a hostel. The apt building is very noisy and it was nearly impossible to get a good nites sleep. It is an ideal rental for a couple of young guys who just need a place to crash in the middle of things in a large city.
