Stacey's place is in a residential area nestled in a very hip neighborhood. The apartment is the bottom floor of what appears to be a two- or three- apartment condo, but the place was private and quiet. If you are looking for lively, you only have to walk a block or two in either direction to find fun places to eat, shop, and be entertained in. Stacey's place is modest but nice. The bed and pull-out sofa are both very comfortable and the bath is well-designed for comfort and good use. There is no kitchen, although there is a refrigerator and microwave, as well as a coffee machine and coffee. There is a good local grocery and many choices in restaurants all within just a couple blocks of Stacey's, so one doesn't have to go far for repast. The shower takes a little while to warm up - maybe a couple minutes - and the ONLY reason I mention it is so that people won't be concerned if it takes a moment to warm up. My sister and I had a great time and we stay there again in a minute!
