From my Bf who stayed there more than I did: I stayed at Ese's because I was moving out of my old apartment and was there for four days till my new place opened up. So I had arrived with a few extra bags and I arrived late for my booking but Ese was very accommodating and helpful. He was welcoming and patient. He is mild mannered however upfront and direct with his expectations (which were few and simple). We had a few conversations here and there but he left me to my own devices which was cool with me. He is very accessible by phone so you never feel like you are out of touch when you need him. The listing was very accurate. The apartment is on a fourth floor walk up which wasn't bad. The actual room was clean, no weird smells. The bed was very comfortable and the room was sizable. The apartment felt lived in and when I returned at night I felt like I was actually coming home. Utensils and kitchen is open for use. The neighborhood had plenty of options for dining though fun had to be carried out somewhere else. Two warnings there are no chests or closets to put your stuff and bring your own toiletries and towels! I'm only saying this because it was listed on the page. I would rate Ese's place 110%. I wopuld totally stay here again!
