Eric's place was great. It's a funky basement apartment that I find charming and eclectic, just as the pictures show. Sometimes you can hear people upstairs and the pipes clang a bit, but none of this bothered me. The location is amazing -- so close to the metro and many good bars/restaurants. The thoughtful touches --- tea & honey, extra clothes hangers, shampoo/conditioner, hair dryer, etc. --- made the stay very comfortable. I would stay here again.
