The screen door slams, loudly, but we felt so secure with all the locks. The stairs leading up to the unit weren't too terrible. My mom, who has had 2 hip replacements and a knee replacement, was able to do them, slowly. The place smelled awesome. Very clean. With 5 women sharing the space, there was plenty of linen provided. We did cook and the kitchen had everything we needed as far as cookware and cooking utensils. There is no outside sitting space but the landing at the top of the back door provided a great view of the neighborhood. There is a rooster and a few hens that lives nearby so you will hear him. We are early riders so that was just cute to us. Great showers, comfy beds and a nice cozy sofa made this place all the more special.
