Grace was a fantastic host this weekend, and her apartment is absolutely as beautiful as the pictures show! I only got to actually interact with Grace upon my arrival since I was out of the apartment most of my stay, but she cheerfully greeted me with a cup of tea and a quick orientation to the apartment, and made me feel very welcome. The room made me really feel like I was at home, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen and bathroom were clean and stocked with the necessities. I was easily able to access the laundry in the basement to dry some wet towels I brought back from my event. Taking Grace's advice, I treated myself to a relaxing bath when I returned after my long event on Saturday - the bath tub is awesome :)

The directions to the apartment were very clear and accurate, and I was able to get from the A train to the building with a suitcase and backpack without trouble (about a 5 min walk). I'll definitely try to stay here again should I return to the neighborhood!
