Garen has a nice home in a very convenient location. The apartment is on the third floor and looks just like the pictures. It was the perfect size for our family of five over three days. The location looks sketchy initially but isn't. It is a bit noisy at night, however, as it's on the way home from the bars and clubs. It's also a five minute walk to the heart of the action, which was great. There was even a farmer's market right outside the front door on Sunday.
Garen provides a great list of things to do in the area, but is pretty hands off aside from that.
In all, I'd definitely recommend staying with Garen: a great home in a super location.
