Besinfe definitely gave us the warm, friendly, positive host interaction that his past reviews raved about. The location is a true bargain, with an easy four block walk to the subway that can take you downtown in 15 minutes. You can really have a great time without leaving the neighborhood, though. The river is just 2 blocks away, and I highly recommend a meal at the Hand Pulled Noodle. Also several really nice cafes within a couple blocks. Besinfe has a very nice kitchen and allowed us to use it anytime. Last, there were several other very nice couples at the home so if you are looking for fun world traveler interaction this is just the spot.
