Ayo and his girlfriend were very friendly and welcoming. The listing is as described and seen in the pictures, well kept and clean. There is no elevator, only stairs to the 4th floor so be mindful of many/heavy bags. Also the shower has a window to the outside that may be a little too low for some people so I used a makeshift blind for the bottom of it just for extra privacy. The bed was comfortable. The WiFi was fast and reliable. The washer and dryer were readily available as well as lots of dishes, utensils and appliances in the kitchen. The heat was sufficient. I made breakfast everyday I was there. I got a set of keys to come and go as I pleased.

The neighborhood is busy usually with a lot of businesses close by. There is a 24 hr store with basic goods a minute walk away. A couple times the fire truck going out of the station across the road woke me up during the night but it was not really an issue. Only one of the exits for the Utica metro stop has an elevator which is the north east corner and luckily that was the one I went to when I first arrived with luggage. While I was there I used the 3 and 4 trains.

I recommend this place.
