The decor looks beautiful, but the furniture are hand me downs and some are broken or worn out. Appliances are also hand me downs and some have missing levers and malfunction. They are still operable, but far from luxurious. Janet, the host lives downstairs. She's very nice and was welcoming. I believe she cleans the apartment herself. It is hard for just one person to clean the entire apartment and is obvious that it is not professionally cleaned. Fingerprints lingered on kitchen cabinetry and microwave, glass on the shower stall and mirrors are streaky. A thin layer of dust was found on the faucets. A strong construction/glue/paint odour is throughout the apartment. The stairs leading to the apartment from the free parking space is narrow. It would be difficult for older folks with large luggage. There is access from the front of the building, but street parking is limited in the late evenings. It is nice there is free parking. The drapes don't close all the way in the room with 2 beds. There is also a skylight which keeps the room quite bright in the mornings. Janet was good with responding to messages and the location was very close to all the touristy things we wanted to do. The layout was also very good.
