John is a great host - very welcoming and generous with his time. He made us feel at home, gave us lots of tips for food and entertainment in the neighbourhood, and patiently answered questions throughout our stay.

The description of the apartment was accurate.

The neighbourhood is the key draw. It's gritty, and authentic - and will be gentrified before too long. Around a ten-minute walk to the subway and a two-minute walk to the bus, so it's very easy to get around.
