While we didn't get to meet Merkley during our stay, he was a great host. The place was tidy and neat when we arrived, not to mention interesting. The fridge was stocked with beer, which was much needed after a 5 hour flight from Cleveland and an hour on the Bart. Check in literally couldn't have been easier. The place was just waiting for us. The house is made up of a couple smaller apartments and we met one of the residents on the way in - and they were extremely nice and great neighbors throughout our 4 nights. As we came and went, it was like we owned the place - neighbors were quiet and barely heard. We took full advantage of the bagels, bananas and orange juice provided in the refrigerator and it was much appreciated. I could go on & on. 10/10 would recommend.
Thanks, Merk man!!!
