Ilbert went out of his way to be a great host, starting by picking me up at the airport (!) followed by a quick driving tour of the neighborhood. He also offered to let me check out late since I had a late flight home, which was very helpful. His loft apartment was clean and well stocked with coffee and cream and extra towels and linens. The wifi was fast. The location is extremely convenient to the convention center and to night life. Only downside: the apartment smells faintly like smoke. The warm hospitality and other pluses definitely made up for it.
