This place is very nice and centrally located to the University, the waterfowl park, and the restaurants in town. As I am not normally a cat person- the feline was a pleasant addition. If you do not wish to have a "comfort" animal, then it is easy enough to control the cat's presence. The place is extremely functional and well laid out. I will caution that if you are much taller than my 5' 7" tall, the pitched/slanted roof will pose a in a few specific areas.
