Beth is just the kind of host you want when you're in a new place and want to know what's up. She was very responsive and helpful anytime I needed some info or directions.
Her place is spotless, airy, and light, and situated in a neighborhood that is close to nightlife, restaurants, shopping, and fun. Just outside the apartment complex is a bank of rental bikes, with subway and busses very close by.
I felt very welcome, and I heartily recommend staying with Beth.
