Cathy’s place is located in a very nice neighborhood and is close to the train, restaurants, pharmacy, and bars. We had no issues commuting anywhere from her place. The free parking spot is a definite plus in the neighborhood. It is spacious enough to hangout with your friends and family. Cathy is a very communicative host and made sure we had everything we needed. The only thing to watch out for in the winter is that you don’t have much control over the heat since the upstairs folks control the pipes that run through the basement apartment. I would recommend Cathy’s place with the heat caveat.
