Location: Terrific. In a happening part of downtown with easy access to subway and train. (My Swiss colleagues were jealous of the location!)
Amenities: Kitchen is outfitted with the necessities but not much more (e.g., no coffee maker). Wifi is *not* unlimited; you are discouraged from heavy use and must ask the host to refill it if you run out (however, he will do this promptly and free of charge). Lighting leaves a bit to be desired: the room is poorly illuminated at night. Also, the shower water does not really get hot and there doesn't seem to be anything to do about this.
Host: Danny was very eager to help out and was responsive to all my needs. He even picked me up from the train station and brought me washing detergent when I asked.
