Gary is an excellent host. He was extremely informative about the apt, the area, gave an excellent list of great restaurants to visit as well as places to see in the city. The apt is exactly as he describes, very quaint. The one major issue is the noise. Gary does note this on the profile but the noise level for me was really bad. I didn't get a good night's sleep in the 3 days we were there. Otherwise, all else was good.
