The neighborhhod is nothing special. Very central, though, at walking distance to many sites and with subway stations nearby.
Reaching it at arrival was somewhat difficult, though, as there is no elevator and our bags were heavy!
We didn't meet Josh, but Franz, who gave us keys, was very helpful and gave us precious advice about stores and restaurants nearby. Thanks, Franz!
The apartment is very well equipped and comfortable and absolutely clean. The mattress is very good and allows to sleep in comfort.
Just a few cons:
1. To make the bed was not easy, because of its position close to the wall.
2. It was impossible to open the windows in the kitchen and bathroom, and windows glasses where really dirty, which prevented seeing out.
