I was in self quarantine for two weeks (I’m Canadian and I have been living in the USA for many years). Before seeing my family, I stayed at Lizzy’s apartment. Overall, I was happy with my 2 week stay.
Here are some pro’s & cons below.
Pro’s:
Very spacious for a studio apartment; two Queen-size Murphy beds, a couch, a large kitchen table that I used as a workspace for teaching, a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, dishes, kettle, cutlery, a full size bathroom with excellent shower pressure, and two wardrobes for my clothes. It was the perfect temperature and the windows were large for a basement apartment. It was bright and it did not have that “basement apartment” feeling. Lizzy was quite prompt in responding to my questions. It was a rather seamless checkin process! Last, but not least, it was very, very affordable for my two week stay.
Cons:
I am sensitive to noise, but it is a 1970’s house afterall. The foot stomping was irritating, but not frequent. I heard extreme “party-like” laughter and it was going on for many hours. Thankfully, the noise stopped in the evening. Nonetheless, I was stuck in the apartment for two weeks and I was working so I really wanted a quiet space.
The pathway and entrance may be somewhat unsafe for more senior folks or folks who may have difficulties with walking. Lugging my 80 lb. suitcase along the path to the back entrance of the apartment was a bit challenging and I do not have any walking challenges.
