My wife, my 16 month old, and I stayed for a few nights at Chris' place and we were very happy with our stay. It is a very short walk to the Zoo and Mt. Pleasant. Easy local parking. We always found a spot in front. For those with small children who need a darker space to sleep, the bedroom worked very well. Even though this is a basement apartment, it does not feel like a basement. Would have no problem recommending other folks to stay here.
