Anne was a very gracious host and easy to communicate with both before and during our stay. The apartment is very well lit during the day, especially for a garden apartment. We had no problem walking the 10 blocks or so to the bus downtown, nor up the stairs from the street to the property, though those with more limited mobility might find it a challenge. As other reviewers have noted, the unit's location under the family home does mean some activity can be heard starting around 6am. Overall, this was an extremely comfortable stay in a lovely place!
