Karen’s place is located in a safe and great neighbourhood close to many things (grocery stores, small mall, food, and night life). The checkin was easy and we had no issues, which was great since we drove 4 hours before we got there and came in just after 8:30pm. The cleanness of the apartment was not as detailed as described in previous reviews. I actually checked out cleaning the inside of the fridge (we only stored water and drinks inside of it) since it looked like it needed a scrub down. There was dust in a couple places as well throughout the apartment. The stay was also hit with two little bumps along the way: a roof leak from heavy rain in the main bedroom onto the floor and no running water the next day for a couple hours. I know those two issues are not controllable, but it would have been great for a heads up about the water being shut off, we had a car which made it easy to leave to use a washroom, but if we did not have a car we would have had to walked to one or taken an Uber.
