My girlfriend and I stayed at Emily's place for the weekend. While we didn't get to meet Aaron, Emily was very friendly and hospitable. I appreciate her communication and flexibility with the check-in as we arrived about an hour later than anticipated.
It was good to have a bureau and closet to put our things, but the room was not so clean (lots of dust on the floor) and a bit stuffy. It would have been better to have curtains that fit the window with the a/c unit in it, but Emily gave us some clips on the second day to rig up some shorter curtains so we could feel the air. I personally prefer firmer mattresses, but it is fine if you like to sleep on softer mattresses. Sharing the bathroom was not a problem.
There are some latin, middle-eastern, and greek restaurants nearby and the apartment is located conveniently close to the 36th Ave stop on the N line. It was quite far from our destinations, but that is my fault for poor planning. The neighborhood seems pretty safe.
