Pros: friendly and communicative host; clean apartment; comfortable furniture (more on bed later); very hot shower; keurig coffee maker; off-street parking
Cons: the street noise is quite loud from the major street behind the apartment, and I found it difficult to relax day or night; the mattress is a soft memory foam king mattress - this is obviously a matter of personal preference, but it was way too soft for me; shower temperature is a bit hard to adjust (very sensitive, takes a long time to heat up, and unclear which direction is hot/cold).
