Mike warmly welcomed us, and provided information about things to do or see in the area. It is walking distance of the awesome co-op the Wedge, and numerous coffee shops and restaurants. The place is so spacious and beautifully appointed! Our family of five (one baby) stayed there comfortably and we had several guests over for dinner in the huge dining room. Noise does not travel in this home (quality construction!), so we could enjoy late evening conversation in the dining room without waking the baby sleeping upstairs. We were never bothered by any street noise and never heard our neighbor (Mike). It was sparkling clean when we arrived - complete with pastries and jam and the checkout process was very easy.
