The communication with the host was concise and clear. Easy instructions to follow. A very convenient neighborhood if you plan to visit the Zoo and the museums nearby. Downtown is a short drive away. Parking was not too much of an issue - I just had to park a block away sometimes (paid from 8 am to 6pm by 2 hours intervals). Even though the flat has no air-condition, sleeping was comfortable and the rooms did not feel stuffy. Wholefoods, pharmacies are within a 2 mile range, and a dry cleaner is across the street. The sushi place was so good that we did not venture out into any other restaurants nearby on the same street, whenever we wanted to eat out within walking distance of the apartment we ended up at Azuki sushi. The apartment is tiny but clean and comfortable. The stairs lead to the apartment - it is on the second floor. Private gate with a lock is an entrance leading to the apartment - directly from the street. Not a fancy place, no views from the windows or any design features to mention, but a good value for money option.
