Francis was a good host and cheerfully checked me in even tho I arrived very late at night. The apartment is in pretty good shape -- new wood floors and furniture. The rooms and kitchen are clean and well maintained, despite being in an older building. The only downside is that the house is in a transitional neighborhood, but certainly a pleasant place to be in the morning, with kids going to school and families in the street. The layout is a little bit odd, because you need to go thru the best bedroom to get to the kitchen and bathroom, or you can go thru the exterior hallway. But overall, good value for the price.
