The place is very nice and Karl goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. There were, however, some downsides. The tenants upstairs are very loud and not super friendly. They also have a dog that makes a lot of noise and you never know if she will be in the backyard. She was very nice, but for our safety and hers it would have been nice to know she would be in the backyard where our entrance was. We stayed during the summer, and bugs were quite and issue because it is located at grass level. The inside was very nice and had so many things to make us feel at home! Just something to know, if you would like to get to town by public transit you have to walk to the bus and then take a bus to the metro station. I would rate this stay 5 stars if it was based just on Karl as a host, but because of the tenants I can’t.
