Karen is a nice host. She likes to make sure you have what you need and offers advice on different places to visit around the area. One thing to consider though is the lack of air conditioning. Staying in a loft where the heat rises and without any direct windows during the heat of summer can get rough. The back door might stay open to create a breeze, but then this means mosquitoes. The storage space has a few bins and you share the kitchen with her. Not an issue if you plan on a short stay. Again, she is an extremely nice host and will help out how she can. The cats are also very friendly and warm up to guests quickly! The apartment is located in a gorgeous part of town too.
