Katherine's place was absolutely wonderful. It is not what you would normally think of as a basement apartment. It is bright, airy, and very clean. The apartment looked like it was recently renovated/ added. It has all of the necessary amenities such as a microwave, a full-size refrigerator, soap and towels, an ironing board, and extra blankets and pillows. I consider myself a clean freak and I felt very comfortable in this apartment. In addition, the apartment was safe and secure, and the street was very quiet. Although I did not meet Katherine, she responded to my text in a timely manner. Overall, I would give it five stars and would definitely stay there again.
