In general, for the money the experience was passable. The rental needed more bedding and paint was peeling from the shower ceiling. The location was fine. The stairways in the building are dark at night and unsafe. The neighborhood is historic, but kind of rough, and not for everyone. The rental was fairly clean, and everything worked well. The washing machine was a nice bonus. I think some people would be intimidated by the general area the rental is located in, but we had no problems with anyone there.
