Ruth is a fantastic host and her garden apartment is beautiful. Travelling as a single woman, I always appreciate feeling cozy, safe and private, and this rental provided all 3 of those. The unit is newly remodeled, sparkling clean, with modern finishes. The kitchenette is tiny, but if you’re not planning to cook whole meals from scratch then it’s fine. Ruth graciously left some essentials (like milk) and there was an international plug adapter and hairdryer too. Other great features are the Apple TV and other A/V options for entertainment. The private entrance to the unit is down a well-lit driveway and parking is on the quiet street: nothing creepy when you come ‘home’ at night!! Ruth has 2 beautiful, friendly dogs that you can interact with as much, or as little as you’d like - they were not a nuisance at all, and never came in the unit. The address is very central to the northern suburbs and the neighborhood is great for strolling. One of the best value rentals I’ve had.
