Karen's place was exactly what I needed- a clean and well thought out space.
At the beginning of my stay I did a grocery shop and was able to make my lunch and dinner to take everyday using the kitchen facilities. This saved me a lot as normally while travelling I would bow to the temptation of getting take out.
The bathroom was lovely and clean, as was the rest of the room.
The table was perfect and was easy to set up as a little work space to focus on my assignments.
There was general house noise as mentioned, but I didn't have an issue with this and I'm a light sleeper but there was nothing between 10 and 6 pm.
