I stayed here for a month, while looking for a more permanent place to live. During an incredibly hot and muggy summer, the basement apartment stayed nice and cool. There is also a nice backyard area with a picnic table for fresh air. The area might be different during the school year but while I stayed there, the neighborhood was very quiet and pleasant to walk around.
There was one plumbing issue on a Saturday morning and Fran had a plumber there and the problem fixed in just a couple hours, which I very much appreciated. I also noted a couple previous reviews mentioned difficulty with a muddy path to the apartment. There is now a wood/gravel pathway leading to each door.
The only thing I missed was having a full kitchen, but I knew that going in. The fridge and microwave got me through the month just fine. I'd definitely recommend the place if you need somewhere comfortable to stay for a while.
