The neighborhood is great, dog park right around the corner, great shopping and restaurants/pubs just a 5-10 min walk away. Paul is above and beyond an amazing host - he was so helpful and laid back, kind and open hearted. Good guy all around. The apartment has a very comfortable couch, an amazing man-cave-like tv/sound system set up with blue tooth so you can listen to your own music. The kitchen isn't much - sort of like a mini-bar in a hotel - which was fine for us. Note that if you're bringing your dog, the entry is a spiral staircase. Paul was very kind and let us use the backdoor through his laundry area to let the dogs in and out, since they would not have been able to navigate the stairs.
