I rented this apartment because of other positive reviews, it's proximity to downtown, that there was adequate space if it had turned out that other family members had been able to join me and reasonable cost. Damon was a kind and thoughtful host. I had no issues with noise from upstairs. The apartment has nice finishes, colors, artwork. It is a basement so the ceiling height is about 7 ft. The kitchen is nicely stocked with coffee, etc. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. My only suggestion is if you will be out after dark, take a flashlight to safely navigate the pathway to the apartment entrance. Enjoy!
