We had a lovely few days at Karen's place - It was clean, cosy and comfortable. It was a little further from Downtown than I expected but I think that was my misjudgement... You can get an Uber though which costs about $9 and was very useful if you plan on taking advantage of the great bars.
I recommend staying at Karen's especially if you plan on staying a bit longer than we did, as the area near to the apartment is very nice and definitely worth checking out (Pancake Pantry is a must!).
