Claudia's place was perfect for me and my spouse's extended stay. We sold our home quickly and needed temporary housing while we looked for a more permanent residence, so we stayed a total of 10 days at Claudia's. Initially I was not certain how well this arrangement would work considering the apartment did not have a full kitchen, but it turned out to be exactly what we needed. Between the toaster oven and hot plate, I was able to easily prepare quick and light meals for us most nights, which saved us on the budget. When we were in the mood for something a bit heavier, we were in easy walking distance to a variety of restaurants and eateries.
The kitchen was thoroughly stocked, providing everything from pots/pans to pitchers and napkins and seasonings. Also having coffee available each morning was an added plus. Her place was exceptionally clean and well lit for a basement apartment. In addition, the bed provided us with an extremely comfortable night's rest. This was important as my husband was still going to/from work each day and even had a late night shift for a few days.
Noise from upstairs was minimal and never noticeable during late night hours. We felt very safe coming to/from each day and Claudia's alarm system provided us even greater surety. We did not take advantage of the beautiful yard as most days we were out looking at homes, but it looked very inviting with the beautiful landscape and hammock.
Claudia was a very gracious host, giving us plenty of privacy yet checking in occasionally to see if there was anything we required. As we were only the second guests to stay, she asked us for a few suggestions to make her place even more inviting. To our surprise, she purchased our suggested items (coasters & indoor mat) and had them available to us later that same evening! We felt truly appreciated by this and would definitely return should our lives required an occasion; thus we highly recommend staying at Claudia's place.
