Gio's place is perfect! He has high quality amenities (organic coffee, down comforter, amazon fire stick) a detailed list of local and personal food and entertainment suggestions, and was very quick to respond! If you want to drive you can bring your car and park in the garage and travel that way, but his apartment is also walking distance to the L train and there's a bus stop right outside the home.
There's a super fun arcade bar nearby and lots of fun little shops and restaurants. It was truly a great stay.
