The place was just as pictured. We really didn't need anything from Mercedes and she didn't push herself into our time which was wonderful. There was a bathroom remodel going on which lead to some odd noises giving up an early morning wake up call. It is right around the corner from a ice cream shop- wonderful delightful sinfulness. A CVS was also a block away for anything that was forgotten. It seemed to be close to everything I wanted to do. The couch isn't a pull out couch that I could find, luckily I am 5' and fit on the couch just fine. The wind was harsh at time and when it blew just right it would turn on the motion sensor light outside the front door- which woke me up a couple times but then I am a very light sleeper. All in all it had everything I needed- including a small selection of storage containers for leftovers.
