Kristine was a communicative host. We didn't have to ask for anything. As some other reviewers have noted the area with kitchen and laundry is separate and across the breezeway from the bed / bath, which isn't a big deal but worth noting. There's not really an indoor spot to sit down and eat, but that doesn't keep this from being a well-located rental, and a good value for money with a great vibe. For those eyeing this with the idea of walking to the Erwin Center: the walk from the rental is easy and safe (0.9 miles), with just a quick jog under the interstate which does feature some homeless folks but is well lit and not too bad of a situation to hike through. That said, there's not an alternative pathway, and it may not be for folks who feel especially vulnerable.
