Ellen is quick to reply to messages. She was flexible as to when I could pick up the keys and check out which was appreciated. She had coffee available and a few things to make breakfast, as well as a few snacks and a couple of sodas.
The place was clean and bright. The building was quiet but there was some noise from the street as we had the windows opened.
The only downfall, as others mentioned, was the heat. Even with the windows (that could be opened) opened and the ceiling fans on, I had difficulties sleeping, because it was very hot. I don’t get hot easily.
It’s a quick walk to the train. There are plenty of stores around.
Things to consider: street parking can be a nightmare if returning to the apartment late at night. Host provides a couple of sodas (which is thoughtful) but bring water and cream/ milk for coffee if needed.
