The apartment itself is quaint, stylish and relatively well appointed. It feels lived in but well taken care of - somewhat like a family beach house you just haven't been to in a while (complete with your cool Uncle's artwork on the wall and your weird Aunt's wacky mugs in the cabinet). It wasn't long at all before the place started feeling like home away from home. You'll find that David has provided a heartfelt, insightful, and eloquently written guide to the apartment, the neighborhood, and the city itself. Although somewhat of a weighty tome as apartment guides go, the value of this book to a neighborhood newcomer can be significant if one might find the time to ingest it.
The walls of the complex are somewhat thin and there's definitely some party people living nearby but we didn't mind and the other residents in the actual building itself were all very quiet and respectful. The view from the roof is breathtaking - I spent many mornings up there writing and its a perfect place to watch the sun set over the bay while having a meal. David, his super Angelica, and her husband are all wonderful, beautiful people and they take great care of both their guests and the apartment itself.
The neighborhood is legendary and you just can't help but want to be a part of it. To make a very long story short our stay here was one of the best experiences either of us have ever had. We absolutely fell in love with the apartment and the city itself. If we can manage it one day we'd love nothing more than to live here for real. Thank you guys so much for such a wonderful experience. 5/5
