We spent two nights at Mariano's and Dawn's place. The studio is super cozy and nicely furnished, ideal for a weekend getaway. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and very pretty. For us as Europeans it was a fun cultural experience to stay at a neighborhood that looks like what we've known from American TV :-)
If you want to explore west part of the city, the place is very convenient as it takes you app. 30 mins to get to interesting places. Highly recommended!
