Pros: very close to sightseeing, great friendly hosts.

Cons: safety concerns, noise.

Patrick and Jen are the great hosts. From a moment of booking we felt welcome. Our son had a birthday and Patrick left decorated cupcakes in the fridge, which was very pleasant. Throughout our stay Patrick immediately responded to our text messages and made everything to make our stay enjoyable. King size bed was very comfortable, futon for kid was not as much. Patrick provided us with food for breakfast which we appreciated a lot – no need to rush to the store. Condo was very clean, kitchen and bathroom are new and modern.

The property description is not very accurate. It indicates 1000 sq. feet, but available space is less. I would estimate it to be about 700 or little more. Part of this space is occupied by owners’ chest which is not available for guest, kids’ toys and safety gates, and several drawers in kitchen are also not for guests. Frankly, we felt like we don’t rent a condo but share it with other family.

Neighborhood. According to Patrick the area is quite safe, but there is a public housing just across the street. Some neighboring buildings have bars on the first floor windows, while the rental property has wooden/glass door which seems very easy to break with no bars on door and windows.

Noise is a big problem. The house is old, and if somebody is walking or talking on the second floor, you will hear it. The stairs to the second and above floors are used by owners and separated from apartment by wooden door, and you will hear everything what’s going on behind it. Probably the host also can hear you.

Amenities. There was no microwave and toaster, but Patrick promised to buy microwave for future guests.
