Stephen's place is lovely and he is a great host. He welcomed us even though we arrived a bit early and got us oriented to the neighborhood. The house is really comfortable with a great kitchen and living area and two comfortable bedrooms. Stephen also provides an abundance of Aveda products to use which is a nice treat when traveling. When my housemate asked about a blender, Stephen went out and bought us one! We enjoyed sitting on the porch, running in nearby Lincoln Park , and shopping for groceries in local bodegas. The only downsides to the location are the lack of healthier restaurants nearby (it's mostly fast food) and it is about a 20 minute walk to the PATH (at a brisk pace). But the house is great value for money and I would return.
