The apartment was perfect, and I never had to wait for Ryan to call or text me back. There are restaurants, shops, and bars all within walking distance, and although the nightlife, and at times the daytime activities may be loud, the apartment is quiet. The only gripes I could have involve the often mentioned cable (I don't really watch TV so it wasn't a big deal to me), and the meager cookware. This is a fantastic place to stay and the host is everything one could want in a host.
