Maria is a great host, responsive and caring. The apartment is perfectly adequate for a month long stay with a full kitchen and bath. There's a lovely view of the back garden which isn't shown in the pictures. Unavoidable is the noise from both busy streets, Bush and Pine, and both the upstairs and downstairs neighbors who both keep late hours. Trader Joe's is a block and a half away. For me, I felt I had to be cautious in that neighborhood and did not walk alone at night.
