Waldemar was a friendly host who made me feel very welcome. He was often a friendly presence as I left to go to my conference or came back at the end of a day. The set-up was comfortable and fine for my needs (within walking distance of a conference). The neighborhood felt safe comfortable, with many houses of worship and mothers with small children on streets; a well-occupied playground for small children was nearby. Though primarily residential, there were also a couple of stores at the end of the block for buying food or drink. Subway (MTA) was just a couple of blocks away. Altogether a very comfortable and satisfactory set-up.
