We booked five months in advance, before most of the reviews. I don't know if we would have booked had we read the other reviews. We would not stay here again. That being said, it's a beautifully decorated space with a comfy bed. While it was cool in the space, the provided space heaters kept us warm enough, but we had to run them 24/7. It was a good location in terms of being close to the bus stop, but the neighborhood didn't feel safe. To get to the entrance there is a somewhat narrow and treacherous path between houses. It was great to have our own entrance with a deadbolt lock. We were there over New Years and there was celebratory gun fire which caught us off guard. We ended up not going out after dark and because we stayed in more we really noticed what the space lacked. The backyard was unusable and the "patio" was two chairs on uneven ground in front of the door. The wifi was useless. The walls were super thin - everything could be heard so there was no privacy. We stayed a week and only had two bath towels - no hand towels and nowhere to hang up the towels for them to dry. We were advised to go to the laundromat when we inquired about the washer/dryer. All in all it wasn't the comfortable vacation we were expecting.
