Sheila was great to communicate with and was a very helpful host. Her flat was simple, very clean, and the kitchen was wonderfully stocked, although I did not do any cooking while I was there. It is in a terrific neighborhood, close to subways, the promenade, great shops and restaurants. I love this area so it was great to be there.

If there was city noise, it didn't bother me because Sheila's air conditioner provided a lovely white noise when I had it turned on at night.

In general I felt very safe in the neighborhood, but a couple of times it was a little disconcerting when folks were hanging out around the entrance to the apartment building when I came home at night.
