Carol is a fascinating woman with an incredible story who raises the bar of hospitality. The apartment is larger than I expected and centrally located to much of downtown. As some other guests noted in their reviews, there are homeless people in the neighborhood, but coming and going from the property in a tuxedo late at night, the people I encountered on the street left me alone. I couldn't have asked for a better home base on this brief trip in for a wedding and Carol made me feel like I was family in how warm and accommodating she was: she even dug out a steamer so I would look extra sharp on my friends' special day.
