My stay at Sarah‘s apartment was great. I was there for 3.5 months and had a great time.
She and her husband are amazing hosts. They invitied me to several parties and even introduced me to some of their friends. Whenever I had a problem I could give them a call and they would respond immediately.
Only things to consider are the number of homeless in downtown and the noise caused by the trucks unloading at the Safeway close by. However, you will geht used to both after a few days.
