Neighborhood was interesting with lots of great small shops around the corner to eat and/or have a coffee. It's certainly diverse, but still hasn't reached that hipster quality that places like Park Slope or Williamsburg have. The picture is exactly the room; the house, though old, is architecturally beautiful, with high ceilings. LOVED the terrace. Waldemar was always around and he engaged in conversation if you wanted to converse, or left you alone if you didn't want to. I had a car and had no problems finding a spot. Bed was also comfortable. And hot evenings, you had the option of using a ceiling fan or air conditioner. (I opted for the fan.)
