The neighborhood is wonderful for walking around - lots of great food and fun places to have a drink. Leah is a gracious host - we didn't meet, but were grateful to have welcome drinks and apples fresh from her tree. Very kind. The apartment is very large and has everything you need, though it is a bit older. One thing I would note is that, as a basement apartment, you can hear your hosts walking around the house pretty early (7a or so), so this may not be the best fit for those who like to sleep in :).
