Erica's place was perfect. A two minute walk brought us to the 8 bus, which goes straight to the center of the city; a fifteen minute walk leads to the District Line, which is just as convenient. The house itself was perfect - tidy, laundry in-unit, wifi, an adorable cat, a great kitchen, a balcony, and a big comfortable bed. Erica herself was just as great as the apartment - she was considerate, flexible, and went out of her way to make our stay comfortable and easy. She printed up a binder filled with local stuff worth checking out, including an excellent jazz bar, a great grocery shop with cheap, delicious fruit, and an incredibly friendly wine shop. Erica's place would have been worth renting at twice the price, and I'm so glad we stayed there. Thanks again!
