Older neighborhood, true, but felt safe returning after 11pm each night. Security lights lit up the entire yard, so going up the steps to the apartment did not bring on any anxiety. As for the apartment, 2 well-placed bedrooms with their own well-sized bathrooms was perfect for 4 girls getting dressed. Extras, like water & juice in the fridge, were a nice touch. Would definitely stay again. Thanks, Christopher, for a great stay!
