The owners live on the second floor, so are available whenever a question arises. On the other hand, they don't hover, and provide complete privacy for their guests. The house itself is old and therefore the second floor can be a bit creaky, but the groun floor has been beautifully updated (the bathroom and shower, especially) and the kitchen is better furnished than my own place (they are chefs, so they've provided materials for anything you want to prepare). The location is right in the heart of the gay area, but even on the weekends it was not noisy. The backyard patio is a nice touch, for breakfast or reading. Highly recommend.
