The host is very warm, welcoming, easy going and helpful- and the house/room are very comfortable, in a great, quiet and safe neighborhood, and the subway is just 6-10mins walk away. I had a great stay and definitely be back.
Some other notes:
* historic, scenic neighborhood. Great for evening run.
* the house itself is quite pretty and has served as a movie production set.
* amenities such as grocery, restraunts, etc are about 6 mins walk away.
