Doug was a charming, polite, and attentive host! He did his best to be helpful but also give privacy as he always worked to coordinate his times that he would need to stop by his apartment only when I was outside. He even stayed to make coffee one morning and chat; He's an incredibly accomplished and interesting individual! Well worth a second visit.

The actual apartment is in an industrial/Hispanic neighborhood but with decent access to public transportation. You need the most minimal of an adventurous spirit to bring yourself out here. The neighborhood isn't as bad as some may crack it up to be. Mind you, there is a bit of a lack of amenities around the area. I took the nearby train to a Whole Foods just a few stops away and stocked up for the weekend in one go, so this issue was minimal for me.
