THE GOOD: Lovely, hospitable people: large living-dining area and fully equipped kitchen, very large bedroom, very expensively redone bathroom, home spotless. 10-15 minute cab ride to almost anywhere in the City.THE NOT SO GOOD: Total lack of services within walking distance- there is a bus stop about a 10 minute walk from the house that can link you to the Canal streetcar.
There is no central heating which in Winter can be a problem- in the bedroom, there is gas wall heater that can't even heat the bedroom let alone the rest of the apartment, though while there the City was experiencing unusually cold weather. The unit has on display an up to date license as a short term rental so I'm sure the gas heater was up to local codes. There are window air cons in bedroom and living room. To access the unit, you have to go up a narrow, ten step set of stairs.
