I think that first and foremost this place is great value. It is quite large and fully equipped - and it is in an excellent neighborhood. The furniture is a bit mismatched and there are a few old-house quirks (an older stove, the kitchen is in the living room, some older outlets so you should have a couple surge protectors) but the apartment is so spacious and well located. We roommates and I stayed for almost four months and we loved all of the decor and quirks by the end! Also we had a few appliances cause us trouble (when will a garbage disposal ever not get clogged once every few months?) but Kathy was always very accessible and accommodating!
