As advertised, absolutely spectacular. Alex was a great host before and during our stay. We were able to street park out front. Nice market around the corner for the basics. Neighborhood is a little gritty, but we liked it very much and never felt un-safe, even late at night. Nice coffee shop on 9th where we started our day. Fun German restaurant down the block which was also very good. Cabs rolling by at all hours, we did not use the local public transportation. Open space kitchen, living room, and deck were as pictured and very cool/relaxing. We had great weather so the deck was used a lot and it was great. Beds were excellent, showers and bathrooms, excellent. Just can't say enough about this place it was great.
