Maritza is fantastic! She couldn’t have been more responsive or prompt.
The apartment is IN THE HEIGHTS!, just below the GW Bridge. If you know the neighborhood, you’ll be aware that it’s very active and full of life, though the unit itself is very quiet.
The place is a great size and was clean and very homey - it’s surrounded by objects reflecting the lives of the people who live there. (Definitely not one of those that’s owned-by-a-faceless-corporation.)
There is a/c, which worked well during a period of 98 degree heat.
One note: the apartment isn’t what I’d characterize as airy and bright (there is almost no light in the bedroom), if that’s important to you.
Overall, I had a very pleasant time in this AIRBNB.
