Irene was very friendly. I did not realize that this was a basement apartment. So, you will hear the owner walking around above you. The walk down the side of the house to the basement is very steep and has no railing. The basement had a musty basement feel/smell. The basement does not have a thermostat. Irene confirmed with an electrician that she can not put a separate thermostat in the basement. Extra blankets were given which was helpful since it did become cold at night. The location is very nice and central. Irene gave many suggestions to close by places to eat.
