Jim and Susan curated a peaceful, welcoming space in the historic neighborhood of Irvington--the apartment is incredibly bright, spacious (while only two of us stayed, we could easily be comfortable with 4-5 people), decorated beautifully, and stuffed with amenities that feel like home and indicate a lot of thought and care for details. The whole space invites coziness and community, with a working fireplace, lots of throw blankets, excellent reading material, games, TV/movie options, different seating areas, and a kitchen is stocked with everything necessary to whip up meals after a trip to the store. Check-in was super easy, and the hosts were very kind, responsive, and available. While Irvington is residential, it's a beautiful area, and about a 15-20 min. walk to stores, bars, eateries, and a MAX station--I prefer staying here to somewhere more central.
