Our host, Sam, made us feel very comfortable in our stay. She left directions that were helpful and was responsive to text messages during the stay. The neighborhood is very residential, as described, with free on-street parking and a nice bodega/café at the end of the street. The transportation options were one of the greatest attributes - buses and rail within blocks. The house is clean and met our expectations. One down-side was the food options were limited later at night when we flew in around 10 PM. It was a great stay overall!
