Ben proved to be an accommodating and gracious host. My, rather incessant, questions were answered clearly and promptly. The place, a cozy mother-in-law apartment in his backyard, was as advertised- clean, tastefully decorated, well-equipped. I was there with two friends, which caused the space to feel slightly cramped, but not unbearably so. Our stay unfortunately overlapped with a near record-breaking heatwave, and the apartment is situated so it doesn't seem to catch any breeze. It was pretty uncomfortable at night; however, Ben admirably installed an in-unit air conditioning unit, which brought much relief.

There location is not perfect, but it worked out just fine. Starbucks, Walgreens and a few restaurants were within a 10 minute walk. A 15 minute walk to the MAX, 10 minutes to a streetcar or a $10 Lyft can bring you downtown in a matter of minutes.

Overall, a great stay!
