We had a great stay at Al's place. He me us at the apartment however there was a delay with getting the keys so he took us to a place next door for a drink. This proved to be very lucky for us as the restaurant (called Saggio) proved to be the best Italian restaurant ! and we ended up eating there on two occasions!
The apartment is very beautifully decorated and homely. The rooms were comfortable, the main bedroom had an awesome king sized bed and a selection of 3 pillows which is fantastic. We loved the fully equipped kitchen with everything we needed to cook breakfast in the morning.
I was worried that we booked too far from downtown but the subway station is literally across the road from the apartment and less than a 30 minute commute without changing trains.
