This place is private and has everything you could possibly need. My husband and I came on Christmas Day and we enjoyed a home cooked meal with some great people. Mary was the most wonderful host and had many ideas for the local music scene as well. The only issue we really experienced was the stove top not working... it is Induction and I am also not used to this, I really do not know. However, Mary was so quick to respond and help us out. I was trying to make coffee that morning (I do not use the regular coffee maker but a small Moka that I brought) and the milk in the special pot for the induction top would not heat up or stay on, what was also wierd is that it worked for my Moka pot which is stainless steal, which makes me wonder if the whole cook top might just work better with stainless steel pots.... not really sure. Mary was so nice to heat up our Milk that day for us and brought over a small plug in Cook top that worked for the remainder of the time we were there! This small apartment is beauiful, Please do not hestitate to stay here, it is also so close to the quarter that you really could forgo the car rental all together if you are just going to be hanging in the quarter.
