Clean and neat. In a residential neighborhood, but close to downtown. The apartment is a remodeled cellar in an older house with some steep stairs to get down to it, so be ready for that. Otherwise it was fine. The bed was comfortable and the shower worked well. We were able to load and unload in front of the house but had to park a few blocks away (Sarah gave us tips on where to leave our car overnight). That was not a problem for us, as we enjoyed walking around the neighborhood.
