Charles' place was a pleasant surprise to us. The house itself is fairly nondescript, but the living area itself is exceptionally comfortable and well-done. All four rooms (living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom) are quite large with high ceilings. The place is nicely furnished, and visually interesting with bay windows in both the living room and bedroom, hardwood floors and a fireplace in the bedroom. The shower, as noted in several reviews, is wonderful. The living room has both a small leather couch and a day bed. The day bed, with a trundle underneath, is a bit too high to sit comfortably on as a couch, but is very comfortable to lay on. The kitchen is well equipped, and the unit stayed warm and comfortable even with outside temps dipping into the 20s. The neighborhood seems primarily occupied by students but was quiet during our stay. There is nothing touristy immediately nearby, but it is was an easy walk to many dining choices and shops, and to both bus and subway stops. All in all, we were very pleased with our stay.
