This place is a hidden gem. I needed a place to stay for a week in a pinch, and I couldn't have asked for better accommodations--safe, clean, comfortable, with tons of homey touches, like framed quilt squares, brocaded furniture, and candles. The host Ellen was very kind and communicative throughout. Also, it's a great neighborhood to take long walks, and there's everything you could need just three streets over on Cross Bay Boulevard. I especially recommend Brothers Ravioli and Pasticceria La Torre for killer takeout ;)
