Do you expect to have any problems getting your security deposit returned? If yes, why? (Explain below.): No

Have you had any major disagreements with your landlord/landlady? (Explain below.): No

If yes, have you taken any legal action concerning the disagreement? (Explain below.): No

Explanations and comments:
The landlady is friendly and well-meaning, although she talks a lot. We haven't anything that needed repairing but she and her husband seem like they would be very good about it if anything came up. Her husband is always over shoveling snow or mowing the lawn, etc. He does a great job and our sidewalk is usually the first one cleared on the street!

Neighborhood & Location
Are your neighbors towns-people, students, or a mix? Mix
For whom is the noise level appropriate? School children
Problems with location? None of the above

Comments on the neighborhood:
Walnut street borders the middle school. There are lot of families with kids on the street, but also some college kids who have loud parties on occasion. Generally the noise level is very reasonable, and since the street is only a block long there is no traffic noise at all.
