First and foremost, Karen is a wonderful host. Very caring and thoughtful and really wanting my stay to go as well as possible. The bed was very comfortable and the location is excellent: near transportation and lots of restaurants, coffee shops and bars all within a block or two. The only downside to my stay was the height of the ceiling in my room (which I did know about so that was not "hidden") and the climb up the ladder (also known). Karen's hospitality makes up for those things as long as you don't have a serious problem with them.
