Richard was accommodating to our midday check-in, meeting us on time and telling us about the neighborhood. We're experienced travelers that don't need much advice, but he informed us of the close proximity to restaurants & cafes in the area. Place was very convenient to subway, which we utilized to get around town when we weren't walking. Richard provided those basic toiletries that you occasionally forget to pack, and coffee before you venture out for breakfast. While the apt had a good kitchen, we ate meals out at the local restaurants.
