The host was in the front when we arrived so we were able to gain immediate access. The apartment is at the basement level and we found the neighborhood peaceful and safe with corner markets on both ends of the street. We were able to park our rental car on the street as long as we observed alternate side of the street parking. There are two subway stops on two different lines about 15 minutes walk away. The kitchen is equipped with a gas range and stove which was nice. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom adequate.
