Simons place was even better than we expected. It is very spacious, well appointed, nicely decorated, and everything works. Friends of ours stayed at expensive hotels and other BnBs and they all mentioned how tiny these places were. We loved the big separation of the bedroom from the living room so I could get up early and not disturb my wife.
The area is friendly, safe and its a 3-5 minute walk from the subway. We bought a subway pass and used it to go everywhere.
We would definitely stay at Simon's place again.
