Olu was a wonderful host. She kept in touch, she gave hugs, she made sure we had everything we needed. There were snacks on the counter, water bottles in the fridge, and toiletries in the bathroom. Her info binder was super helpful as well. We even added a menu to it. Try the chicken and waffles down the block. ;)

Olu's house is lovely. It's super clean. The decor is really nice. There are a few odd steps here and there, so if it's dark, be careful! Also, the bed squeaks. I didn't have problems with it, but it drove my cousin crazy. Regardless, it was a comfy bed with lots of pillows and I had a great night's sleep!

The neighborhood is a nice quiet one. We parked on the street easily and left the car there for days with no trouble. The house is a short walk to the Gun Hill Road station to catch the subway into the city. There are lots of places to grab a bite to eat within easily walkable distances.

Overall, it's really a great location with a really great host. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat and I'll probably go back.
