Carla is an excellent host. Because of a train delay, I did not arrive until 1 a.m. Although she explained things to me, I was too tired to comprehend and the next day asked if she could come back again, which she very gracious did. Later in the week she sent me an e-mail to be sure everything was going smoothly. She was very attentive but not intrusive.

The apartment is quite spacious and the location is excellent; very near a major subway station. Lots of restaurants. I was traveling by myself and felt very comfortable and safe in this neighborhood even when coming back late from the theatre.
