We very much enjoyed our stay at Jessica's place. The apartment was clean, the kitchen was well equipped with all the basics and the bed was comfortable. Many restaurants and take-out places around the corner. Walking to the capitol takes about 25 minutes through a pretty neighborhood with traditional townhouses. There is also a "circulator" bus stop around the corner. During our stay, the bus was completely free. Usually it is 1$ per ride, so a cheap way to get around.
Since the apartment is located on the ground level (souterrain) the floor can be cool. So if you are sensitive about that, I'd recommend bringing slippers.
