I recommend Allyson's place for a short stay, not for long term. I originally booked her place for two months but realized it was not going to be a good fit for me; therefore, a few days into my stay, I started looking at different places. Allyson is very nice and was great at making it easy for me to cancel the second month. She was easy to get a hold of during my stay. The location was perfect. It was a 10 min drive to work and it is very close to downtown but far enough from the congested areas of downtown. The neighborhood was quiet and I felt very safe. The neighbors around are very nice. One of the main issues I had was the noise level. I knew she would have guests over frequently, which was not an issue at all but I did not know that it would have been that loud. One the first day I arrived, after a 13+ hr drive, all I wanted to do was sleep but it was very loud until past midnight. Several times the TV was so loud I could not hear anything when I was on the phone, perhaps the walls are thin. I asked her to lower the volume once. The other times I just left the house or dealt with it because I did not want to sound annoying. I worked nights and for the most part I slept good because there was no one in the house. But I do not recommend it if you work and have to wake up early in the morning. Since I planned to live there for 2 months, I would have liked to have more room in the fridge and at least a small place in the freezer. With limited space, I found it hard to make my own and store it. I often
had take out and stored some groceries in my room. I also wish the kitchen was a bit cleaner. I did meet the housekeeper on my last day who left the place spotless. For excepting a private bathroom, is not completely private, it is shared with frequent visitors except for the shower area. I still do recommend her place because it may not have been a good fit for me but I can see this being a good fit for people with different needs than mine.
