Carol was a helpful and communicative host, and the apartment itself was freshly decorated, pretty, comfortable, and well-provided. The neighborhood is pleasant and up-and-coming. It was, however, challenging to access the basement apartment behind the house without a clear sidewalk (garbage cans in the way) or night lighting (we needed our flashlights), with a low dish antenna and low ceiling in the entrance where it was too easy to hit your head, and part of the way in across a dirt lawn where the dog pooped and it was muddy after rain as well. The dog was also free in the yard a couple times when we came in and out and seemed threatening.
