John spoke to me on the day I arrived, and had left the door open for me while he picked up his child from school. He gave me a corkscrew when I could not find one in the apartment. (I later found the corkscrew that was already in the well-stocked apartment.) I asked if I needed to check out with him on my final day, and he said, "No, we're good," as I had prepaid. I did speak to John's wife before departing, and she was also very friendly and accommodating. The neighborhood was quiet, tree-lined and peaceful. I had a glass of wine outside the front door of the apartment one night and just soaked up the quiet, informal neighborhood. The Cains have chickens, a dog and a cat, which I liked as an animal lover. I also loved the apartment being full of books and music CDs. The TV requires an upgrade to digital--it worked the first night, but not after that. I didn't miss it, but the next guest might. Plenty of linens and bedding, and I slept well. Two air conditioners kept the place cool. John and his family allowed me to use their freezer in the room next to the apartment to chill my beer and keep some groceries. I used the microwave to make breakfast and a couple of dinners, which was a bit of a challenge, but worked. Dishes were plentiful, but I would have liked to also have a few more microwave pans or dishes--most guests won't need this though, as I doubt most will want to cook in the microwave as much as I did. I would have liked having a larger drip coffee maker in the room. The shower and water pressure were pleasant, and there was adequate light throughout the apartment. Everything in the apartment was comfortable, and I would definitely stay here again if I have the chance. Convenient to a bus stop and South Congress St., where there are lots of places to eat and be entertained. Neighborhood was sleepy in a good way. I did not lock the apartment door when I went out to attend my conference each day, and felt perfectly safe walking back from the bus stop, sometimes after dark. People were friendly in the neighborhood as well, as I walked back and forth to and from the bus stop. The cat and I bonded!
