LOCATION + VIEWS!!! This is exactly what I was hoping for, what drew me in to James' listing, and what I received from my stay (plus more). I cannot say enough about how wonderfully centrally located James' pad is in the downtown area. There was plenty of overnight paid parking nearby at a reasonable price. Everything I wanted to visit with my boyfriend, we were able to walk to within 8-20 minutes, which included great unique restaurants (Guu Garden + Purebread), shopping, and parks. We took a surprise weekend trip to celebrate his birthday, and the window view from this apartment made the moments not outside exploring even better. Another HUGE plus, James' apartment has 24/7 access to a pool and hot tub. We almost didn't use it, but I'm so glad we did right before we left. A quick soak at the hot tub helped us to feel warm and cozy during the rainy weekend, and the showers by the pool worked perfectly for cleaning up. All in all, I would absolutely consider staying here again. Particularly given most listings in this price range are out in the suburbs, this was really a gem of a find and experience. Last thing, James is a great host and chill guy. He makes you feel so welcome, takes good care of you, and also does a really good job making his apartment feel like it's yours - we barely felt like the shared spaces were shared. 5/5 for sure!
