Jamal’s place was just like the pictures. My friend and I (2 women) also felt that the door to the apartment could’ve easily been “shouldered” open. We felt safe enough because the front door also locked but it would be nice to feel safe in a strange new place. The shower is SMALL. I’m 5’9 and not exactly petite. It was a tight fit. Overall we were charmed by the beautiful fireplace and the woodwork. It was a pleasure to be a part of a historic neighborhood. The bed was comfy (but hard to get out of since it’s a mattress on the floor). Everything else was in fair condition. Check out the Dekalb market for some GREAT food!
