I stayed at Katy's apartment for 6 weeks during an internship that I had downtown. Let me list off the pro's and con's of the apartment.

Pro's: easy communication with owner, on-street parking, great and safe neighborhood, 45 minute commute into downtown, large closet, quick access to laundry, apartment fully stocked with cooking utensils, a mini-fridge, a microwave, and a hotplate

Con's: can hear some noise overhead ranging from just footsteps to a TV, no control of thermostat within the unit (she makes up for this by having a fan and a small heater in there, plus she is always an easy text away)

Lastly, there are two separate issues which are hard to separate into pro's/con's. For the first few weeks of the stay the carpet next to the bed was damp. I let Katy know about it, and she promptly got a handyman to take a look. A few weeks later the carpet was soaked, and turns out that a valve in the AC unit had gotten blocked and was causing water to seep under the wall into the carpet. Katy quickly got a HVAC person out there to fix the problem, but the whole ordeal was a bit of a nuisance. However, she did automatically reduce the rental fee without me having to request it...so I guess it all worked out in the end. The last thing that a possible renter may like to know is that the owner or her sitter will come into the apartment every few weeks to straighten things up. If you have a problem with people moving your personal items, then you may just want to communicate this with them up front.
