The apartment is located on the lower level of a multi-story structure; entrance is easy (fewer than ten stair-steps from the street to the door). The kitchen is functional and the pantry is well-stocked with cooking basics - particularly nice when first arriving in town! I stayed for two and a half weeks; the area was safe and quiet for my entire trip, and as mentioned in the description, it is a two-minute walk (max) to the bus or a five-minute walk to the pink line. The apartment itself was very clean and Covid protocols were followed in the shared areas. Carla was very communicative - can strongly recommend as a host!
