If you've lived in a small apartment with others and know how to act with consideration, you'll be fine here. Alicia is clean but not meticulous, and helpful with all the basics. Kitchen is small but perfectly adequate for one person cooking. Bathroom and bedrooms are comfortable and clean. The one draw back is that there is nowhere to lounge or socialize, (the living room is where Alicia spends her time watching TV, so I did not want to invade her space). I was there in January and it was COLD, but you can use a small electric heater in the room to take away the chill. I had plenty of blankets and was able to stay warm at night, but needed to leave the house to stay warm during the day.
