This place served our needs but I would not describe it as "cheerful." "Bare bones" is more accurate. The location and neighborhood are great. It was quiet and convenient. However, the bathrooms were not cleaned well at all. The layout is odd with two fridges and we didn't find the 2nd full bathroom in the corner of the low-ceilinged, empty basement until day 2. There's comfy couches in the living room and a new smart tv in every bedroom as well (although we didn't use them at all.) There's very little decoration overall and the bedding slid off every night since there was no mattress pad. Our hosts were very responsive, flexible, and friendly. AC kept us cool during a scorcher weekend. In general, a little more attention to detail would improve the experience a lot.
