We stayed at Carol's place for most of the week and found it a great space, with several coffee shops/restaurants within walking distance.
The apartment was nice and clean and Carol was very attentive at making sure we were comfortable with the temperature and any other questions we had.
The bathroom was a bit small, but very clean and modern. The apartment is a standard basement that isn't the most soundproofed, but nothing that ever really bothered us.
Would definitely recommend Carol's place to anyone looking for a great place to stay near downtown.
