8/10 Very Good! (69 reviews)
The apartment was very clean and house rules, check in, and check out were timely and clear. We appreciated the furnishings, multiple TV's, and space. However, neighbors were noisy either due to thin walls or simply noisy behavior. When people arrived in the apartment above us, we could hear garbled conversation and stomping. Street parking was easy to find, but the streets themselves were rather dirty. At one point there was a small leak in the ceiling. When we reached out about it, we did not get a response for quite a while. That said, it seems the owners may have been already busy dealing with the source of the leak, because it stopped within minutes of starting, and we heard movement above the area that sounded like cleaning. The apartment offered much value. It was affordable, plenty of space, clean and well furnished. The noise from neighbors was the biggest complaint

8.8/10 Excellent! (92 reviews)
Nice place! The host was accommodating and let me check-in a couple hours early, the room was clean, and it only took me about 10 mins to get to center city.

I didn't get to walk around the campus much. But definitely there needs to be more parking lots/garages at University. Difficult to find street parking
