Comments on condition:
Good condition overall, nothing special. Technically a two-bedroom but better for a couple- one really big bedroom with two big closets (and a ceiling fan, yay!), one tiny but attached to a second living room. There are lots of windows and lots of storage space in the apartment, the living room has one wall of built-in bookshelves, it's great.

Temperature
Is the residence well insulated? Yes
Are there window screens? Yes
Are there storm windows? Yes
Is the residence warm enough? Yes
Is it hard to regulate the heat?
(For example, does the thermostat work? Do you have to open windows in the winter?): No

Comments on any of the above (temperature):
Main bedroom doesn't have the best insulation in the outside wall so that side of the room can get a bit chilly, rest of the apartment is fine. Heat is included in the rent and the heater works well.

Relationship With Landlord

Does s/he enter the premises without your consent or without giving legal notice? No

Have you observed on the part of the landlord/landlady discrimination on the basis of sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.? No

Is the landlord/landlady willing to make repairs? If yes, comment on how promptly (below): Yes

Have you had any disagreements with your landlord/landlady concerning who has the responsibility for making the repairs? No

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:
Blane is the best! Seriously, I can't imagine a better landlord. If there's a problem he's usually there that day to deal with it. He and his wife really considered the apartment to be our space, they were really careful to let us know exactly when they would be coming over and made sure we were okay with it.

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:
Great neighborhood. Quiet and safe. Right across from the middle school so it can get loud in the afternoons (recess and football practice).
