Shel is responsible, personable and no mystery. I prefer dealing with straight forward people and that is what I got with Shel. The location of the apt is great!!!! The building is old, the apartment is a little drafty, you will hear street noise, and the hot water is sparse BUT for the price, location and personality of Shel you will be getting a great deal! I would rent again (I went with my 5 year old and his "aunt"). We had a great experience! I am already planning my next trip up! Shel is very nice. Check around and you will not find a better crash pad!
