Carol's apartment was the perfect size for 2 people and offered a comfortable bed, open kitchen, and a washer-dryer (always an awesome amenity!). It was an easy walk (4 blocks) to 23rd street for groceries and dining out, and for families, there's a great park just across the road. We were able to get Ubers to head to downtown very easily. Carol was not home, so we were not able to meet her, but she was very helpful via phone when we had questions. Regarding other reviewers' mention of noise, we did wake up to what sounded like a running dog or child from the neighbors' part of the duplex a few times in the early mornings. The neighborhood itself is blissfully peaceful and safe. The apartment offers solid kitchen amenities for preparing a meal; those who wish to cook and eat-in will want to bring their own cooking aids like olive oil, storage containers, etc.
