We felt so-so about this rental. Valerie did come meet us after we requested that. She was super nice and has put a lot of love into renovating this old bowling alley.

Pros:

Spacious with artsy charm.
Big deck with amazing skyline views.
Great commercial gas stove.
The bathroom is spacious with an amazing 2 person tub.
Walking distance to the cool Atwater market.
Valerie is responsive and sweet.
Parking is available on side streets if you are careful with reading the signs.

Cons:

The energy felt a bit scattered to us.
Light bulbs needed changing.
There were some fruit flies.
Freezer is in a separate room and basically full of meat.
The fridge is an old commercial restaurant fridge and insanely noisy. I couldn't get comfortable without unplugging it.
We noticed an electrical hum in the building. I am extra sensitive to EMR and felt affected by it.
The apt is up two rather long flights of stairs, so bringing 4 suitcases, 2 bikes, and groceries up and down was an intense workout.
The area felt a bit gritty to me.
