Renee was responsive and as nice as can be. My only complaint about the apartment: doors. The first time I closed the apartment door from the outside, the door knob came off in my hand. Renee quickly apologized and tightened it, but it was a reminder that this is an old house and some of the doors are a bit wonky.

The bedroom door will only stay closed with a chain lock from the inside, and the bathroom door was almost impossible to get to stay closed, even with the lock engaged. This may not be a problem if you are alone, or with a partner where privacy is not necessary, but among two friends it required warnings of "I'm walking past the bathroom now".

Other than that, the apartment was bright, roomy, and just a few minutes walk from the subway and LIRR. The kitchen was stocked with dishes and silverware, and there was random reading material lying around. Renee has made helpful signs on the walls with the WiFi password, local shop recommendations, and instructions on various plumbing quirks. We had no problem besides the doors.
