My biggest (and really only) issue was that the internet didn't work while I visited, which was a huge disappointment because I needed to work both nights I was in town and was unable to do so. Louise and her cousin tried to reset it and scheduled an appointment for the internet company to come by the day I left. Obviously that was an unfortunate one off particular to my stay.

In all honesty it reminded me of the first apartment I lived in when I moved to NYC - there were bug traps along the wall by the bathroom (I assume for roaches), it was the basement room (not mentioned in the description) without a door, so not fully private and a bit different than anticipated. The bed is super comfy though, granted it's right under the stairs, which the photos don't show. There's an air conditioner so that's greatly appreciated during the summer.

Louise had also warned me that she was going to be out of town and her cousin would be the host - which was totally fine. Her cousin was very friendly and as helpful as she could be! The location is also great - a lot of good restaurants around and close to the 123 line.

Overall - it was fine. But next time I'll probably opt to spring for a hotel instead.
