The place was on a beautiful tree-lined street in between Wallingford and Fremont, about a 20 minute walk from good coffee shops and restaurants. Communication with the host was good. The place including the kitchen was also well-stocked. The one disadvantage is it is a basement apartment, and had a slightly dark, claustrophobic feel, and there was a slight smell of mustiness that can happen in basements. There also could have been more dresser space for clothes, so we ended up just leaving clothes in our suitcase for the week we were there.
