“Cora’s Place” is a very clean, spacious, fully furnished basement apartment. There is a private, side entrance with a keypad so you can come and go without bothering anyone. Being it is downstairs, you can hear some foot traffic above but nothing during sleeping hours. The bed was comfortable, on the softer side but not too soft. The home is located on a quiet residential street. A Lyft driver commented about some recent crime in the area, but I was taking Uber and Lyft around and the street the house is on is nice, so I saw no issue. For reference, a ride to downtown runs ~$11. Breakfast was very basic (oatmeal packets, packaged pastries, and granola bars) but the Keurig was a welcome touch. I saw two cockroaches at night but other than that, there didn’t seem to be a bug problem and the place was spotless. I did not get to meet Alvin in person, but he was very friendly and responded to all communication quickly and clearly. The apartment was very homey, and I felt very welcome there. Overall, any issues I had with Alvin’s place were minor and it is a good value so I would not hesitate to recommend it to my friends.
