Lovely apartment, great neighborhood, very kind attentive hosts.
The apartment is recently refurbished, clean, tasteful, well equipped, and bright and airy for a garden floor apartment. Alexa and her family are really good hosts - communication is fast and direct, they respond immediately and fix any issues super fast. They have polite friendly children and made us feel very much welcome and at home.
The neighborhood is full of restaurant and cafe gems. Smooth coffee at Natural Blend on Malcolm X, French on the corner at L’Antagoniste, excellent Italian at
Saraghina, and lush soul food at Peaches or Southern Comfort. There’s a decent little market on the next corner. A few blocks to the train.
