Charmaine is fantastic! Her place is wonderful, big , clean, comfortable and she provides all kinds of little extras like milk and orange juice, croissants, eggs etc. also large bottles of shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste. It was great!
She came and picked me up at the train station when I arrived and had very clear directions about everything.
The neighborhood is great. Everyone was super friendly and felt totally safe even walking late at night.
Two little tiny things...bedroom does get a good bit of street traffic noise but I'm from a very quiet rural area so I could just be super sensitive. The second is that while the train station is walking distance it is a solid 25 minute brisk walk. I chose to walk so I never did the bus which is probably much faster. It's a $6 cab ride and there are always cabs at the station so that was nice on the nights I didn't want to walk back.
Overall though it's a great place and Charlaine is a fabulous host!!!
