Lisa and Howie are the nicest hosts I have ever met. They are quick to respond and even brought by baked goods. This is a great walkable location but the trade off is that it is quite noisy even at night. We found the apartment to be uncomfortably warm, even with a fan and the only window open. (We travelled during a hot week so this is probably not typical.) The kitchen area is small but sufficient for a short stay (toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker, small mini fridge). Our biggest area of concern was the bathroom — there is no sink so you must use the kitchen sink which felt unhygienic (eg when brushing your teeth or shaving). Additionally, the shower door swings inward so if you are plus-sized you will have a hard time fitting. Overall, this unit is good for a short stay and the kind hosts make up for the shortcomings.
