The location was excellent in a lovely neighborhood near plenty of grocers, restaurants, and shops. The basement apartment was bright and spacious, well-furnished and well-lit, with ample kitchen items and coffee/tea provided, plus nice extras! Everything was in working order and very clean. Nancy and Randy provided many items one might need exploring the area -- umbrellas, small lantern, small cooler, chewy bars -- as well as other niceties, such as card and board games, magazines and local info, filtered water, plenty of hangers and bureau space, lots of comfortable seating, and even a table already set for two, plus extra dishes in the cupboard. The bed was wonderfully comfortable! Nancy and Randy were willing to allow an extra guest for two of our nights on short notice, for a fee (which was clearly stated on the listing). All was as promised, including the gift card to Bar Avignon - thank you! We hope to be back again.
The only negative comment we'd have would be that sound carries a bit too well from upstairs. It wasn't a problem in the bedroom, but in the main room, phone and other conversations could occasionally be heard (the dog, too, but only rarely, and then only because of neighborhood commotion due to a fire down the street), which makes one assume that conversations from the apartment might also be heard upstairs -- an issue of privacy for host and guest alike.
