I stayed at Rena and Martin's for over a week with my mom, and it was great. Chaco is the cutest dog ever and makes everyone's day so much better. He's a very big and energetic dog so definitely not for people who don't like dogs!
Rena and Martin are also a lovely couple and really cool people in general who always had awesome local tips. They have a map of all their favorite places in the neighborhood which is so nice. They are also very responsive and communicative. They were super welcoming and even cleared out a refrigerator drawer for us. Overall very satisfied with my stay!
One thing to note is the apartment is a 4 story walk-up!
