Our overall experience was very good.
Sheila did her best efforts to make our stay comfortable. She responded to our queries in a timely manner, made efforts to leave the keys at our convinience and left the appartment for us in a perfect condition. There even was an electric adaptor for us to use.
The neighborhood is great. We even walked home one night from China Town over the Brooklyne bridge.
The building is an old one and neighbors talk to one another over the windows, which we found charming, even at midnight.

However, I feel I need to let potential guests know some facts that caused us discomfort, mainly because we are not as young as Sheila:
1. There are no chairs at all at the apartment. Just the bed and a sofa. I
2. The apartment is on the second floor with very steep staitcase and no elevator.

To sum it up, go for it. You will enjoy your stay.
