Pulling into the neighborhood I was skeptical about the area. I did not do my research about where we were staying or look at the surrounding houses. But after we unpacked and settled in everything seemed ok. It was very quiet. Comfortable bed. Easy access to everything we wanted to do and a great value. Would stay again! The door locking mechanism was a first for me so I wasn't sure how that worked, but after downloading the app and getting used to it, it was convenient. I also wasn't sure whether we were in the basement or on first floor (for the record the apartment is on the ground level) but again, once we were inside all was great! Also had a great backyard with a solid fence for our pup.
