Russell's apartment was clean, bright, and attractive. Russell himself (though we never met in person) was extremely quick to reply to any requests, and quick to provide assistance.
One word to the wise: Note that the street parking is subject to the weekday street cleaning schedule. We were able to easily find parking on the same block most days, but the evening before cleaning there was nothing for blocks. You may want to consider just parking your car in a local paid garage (there are some very close by) so that you don't have to think about it at all!
Great apartment, great host.
