Patrick and Karen's place was lovely and the location was very convenient for a Vanderbilt student. They both came to greet me when I arrived to show me where things were and how things worked, and they were very welcoming. The apartment was very cozy, although they haven't quite thought of everything. For instance, there were only a few towels - one hand towel and two bath towels; being there for a week, an extra hand towel or a washcloth might've been nice. Also, while there were a few pots and pans, there were no pot holders. And other than a spatula and a few steak knives, there were no utensils for cooking. Also to note, there were a few coat hooks on the wall inside the door, but there was nowhere else to hang any clothing. The neighborhood was very quiet, although there were a couple of nights where their neighbors were loud later into the night. One night they had company over and were pretty noisy until after 10-11pm, and then another night around 10:30pm, it sounded as if they were hanging pictures on the shared wall between the apartment and the neighbors. In truth, I would rate it 3-1/2 stars if it would let me - it was better than "average," but not quite "great." Now knowing what to expect though, I would stay again. However, it wouldn't be my first choice, only because I know I could find a better value somewhere else in the area. All in all, it was a nice place to stay and perfectly adequate, there were just a few things that were missing here and there.
