Location was perfect for us because it was blocks from where our family lives and we were there to visit them. This was our home for four months, and throughout Elie was available and responsive 24/7. The apartment is entered from the back patio leading on a very pleasant yard, which was a highlight for me as a birder. Elie allowed me to hang bird feeders, and we were visited by an astonishing array of birds, including cardinals, chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, and many others. The apartment itself is what I would describe as a half-basement or garden apartment, but windows and access onto the yard open it up. Elie and his parents, who live next door and help look after the property, are very caring people.
