The apartment was as described. The balcony is fantastic, pictures do not do it justice. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, helpful and went out of their way to make me feel less like a renter and more like a guest. The building is secure, modern and clean. It is very close to stores so you can run and get little essentials as needed ( small 7-11, Dunkin Doughnuts, diner that delivers) are less than a 1 minute walk. Neighborhood safe, clean, friendly, quiet but active. If you have a car you do need to find street parking. Train station 5.00 cab ride away. A positive experience with positive hosts!
