Although we did not meet the host,she was very helpful via fone,email and texting. The apt had many wonderful details like bathrobes, a dispenser in the shower of body wash,shampoo and conditioner. A fully equipped kitchen,a washer,dryer,a beautiful landscaped patio In the backyard. There were many wonderful books,it was beautifully decorated with pictures and antiques. The neighborhood was somewhat marginal,my husband called the police about a homeless man lying in the street on the block. There was an excellent bagle place 2 blocks away
