We stayed here for over 4 months while we were waiting for our house to be finished being built. Nathalie was a very gracious host, good communication and very flexible with letting us extend our stay for about 6 weeks longer than we had intended. The neighborhood is in transition, but we were never concerned for our safety, and it is close to shopping, restaurants, parks, etc. Nathalie has done some nice upgrades to the place, but do keep in mind it is an older house and not all of it has been updated. She has an amazing collection of books. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
