This is a beautiful apartment in a great location! The neighborhood is a quiet, family area in a historically Latino community. If you're going to stay here, it's important to remember that you are a visitor in an established place and culture. Be respectful of that.
We took a combination of public transportation and Lyft everywhere and it worked out great with the location. It took a day or two to really to explore the area and understand the street layout, but after awhile we got into an easy and familiar routine to catch certain trains/busses.
Even though we didn't get to meet, Houcine and his family were great hosts! They stayed in communication with us the whole time to make sure things were going well. When we messaged them about an issue with the dishwasher they got back to us and checked it out right away!
Everything thing the other commenters have said about the set up of the space is true. They gave us all the essentials we needed and had everything perfectly clean when we came in. The shower was fantastic! We will definitely stay here again if given the opportunity.
