From the second we arrived Nicole was waiting for us to let us in and made us feel welcomed. The fridge had a greeting card as well as some fresh apples and a large bottle of water to get us started. The apartment was just as the pictures depicted and was in great shape. The skylights in the jr bedroom and bathroom allowed in so much light we often weren't sure if we had the lights on! When we had bug bites Nicole was swift in checking the apartment for any issues that may be allowing bugs to come in and would also follow-up with us to make sure the problem was resolved. The neighborhood was definitely quiet and the sidewalks were swept everyday. Although the apartment is quite safe the neighborhood at night can be a little troubling. Make sure to take caution and be aware of your surroundings especially if you're alone. The nearest train is about a 15 minute walk away. Another great feature was that Netflix was available for your viewing pleasure! Wifi is also available however the Internet would often cut off or delayed to the point that website loading would time out. Nicole was able to reset the router which would help for a short time but would often return back to the slow speed. All in all Nicole was a great host with a beautiful apartment and was always easy to reach by phone or text. She has a beautiful family and an adorable son. Since we lived there through Halloween, the porch was decorated with beautiful pumpkins. Thank you Nicole for a great stay! Just what we needed for two students on a 6-week rotation!
