Our hosts were kind and gracious. Helpful when we needed them but in no way intrusive. Na made yummy lattes in the morning and served smoothies one afternoon as we were enjoying the patio. The apartment is immaculate and comfortable, providing everything we needed. We loved the location, being just a short walk to neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops and Trader Joe's. The only minor drawback is that the apartment is in the basement so there is limited window light. That said, it is beautifully finished and did not feel dark.
