Irene's place was very clean, small but well appointed. She thought of almost everything. If you forgot something it's probably stocked already. It is a busy street so consider bringing earplugs. We had read the reviews and knew what to expect. Very near eating and shopping. Pleased with staying at Irene's place. The bed was firm, we enjoyed sleeping on the futon in the living room. And loved having a refrigerator and washer and dryer available. It's quiet there at night and seems like a good area. Would recommend. Oh by the way when we arrived there was a personal note on the refrigerator wishing me Happy Birthday! How nice was that!
