This is a convenient and very walkable location. It is on a busier street with either street parking or driveway parking. The locked gate to get into the backyard is very difficult if you are short. I am 5’1” and I could not operate it. Once inside, the stairway is narrow and steep. I would say the “light and bright” comes from the lighting not windows. The heat is controlled by the upstairs unit. The “kitchen” area is very small. There is no silverware but for a fork and spoon. No knives to spread that cream cheese on bagels! No sink in the kitchen area. Two coffee pots but no coffee samples. There were two bottles of water in the dorm size frig. Also our AT&T cell phones did not work while in the unit. Otherwise the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom very small.
