Tricia's apartment was everything she listed and more! We checked in almost exactly at 3PM and she had the apartment ready and waiting for us. The space is neat, well-decorated and HUGE and the kitchen is particularly amazing! It's well-lit, but because it's a basement apartment, it stayed cool and comfortable even in the August heat. She has a collection of cards, takeout menus and local attractions on a bulletin board to help non-locals find fun restaurants and activities, which I thought was a nice touch.
The location is great. It's a nice neighborhood with lots of character, it's safe, it's within walking distance to almost anything and public transit is available basically next door. Gorgeous parks and gardens nearby, too!
It was a delightful stay. Tricia is a great host who is communicative and friendly but also deeply respectful of privacy. I'd absolutely stay here again. This is a great find whether you're looking for a place to crash after going out or a home away from home for staying in. Thanks, Tricia!
