My flight was canceled during the blizzard and instead of sleeping at the airport for who knows how long, I quickly booked Nina's place. She accommodated my early checkin needs and was quick to answer any questions I had.
It's too bad that her balcony was all snowed in, but the views were still great. All these dormant roses and irises make me wonder how nice this place will be in the Spring when all of Nina's plants wake up and make her place a city gardener's paradise.
If I had to pick something to improve, I would recommend a renovation. I didn't mind, because it reminded me of my bachelor days, but some people might be picky about the outdated decor and furniture. This is probably where the value proposition comes in, because the price was awesome for such a short notice and at he great location within walking distance to midtown sights and public transportation.
