The apartment is close to the subway, which is convenient. The neighborhood has a handful of nice bars and restaurants, including a great coffee shop: Lennox Coffee. It's not a place you'd want to spend much time, as the other retail shops are low end.

The apartment is fine, nothing special. It was clean and the host provided maps and brochures. The TV only has about 10-15 channels, and several of those are in Spanish. The host asked that we do the dishes and clean the bathroom and other areas upon leaving. The shower has low water pressure. There are 3 umbrellas in the closet, which were priceless when it poured most of the day!

The host has a greeter assigned to meet you upon arrival, and this person was difficult to get in touch with, but we did eventually connect.
