We had a great stay in Eric's apartment! The neighborhood was busy but safe and very convenient for us ! The Subway was about 2 blocks away and we enjoyed the corner deli and a very nice bakery for morning coffee and cookies . Although we didn't meet Erik he made it very easy for us to get the key and left detailed instructions regarding everything we would need. I felt that we could contact him if we had any questions or problems but we didn't need to!
