Derek's place was great! This downstairs apt is very authentic. Bear in mind that this is an old house, and it's not a cookie cutter new dwelling. There were small details that were so interesting, like the slate floor harvested from the original roof. I stayed here with 4 adults and 3 kids. The space was plenty. And it's great for older kids (4+), but it was suboptimal for our crawlers or toddlers....this is not a negative per se, as old houses rarely are ideal for very young kids. All in all we loved the space and the neighborhood. Derek was responsive and he and his family were friendly. The tap water is filtered, which is another plus. Parking was easy.
