Pros: The location was central to many attractions. The appliances were new and good working order and the decor was nice.
Mary was very pleasant and took the time to check in and make sure the stay was as comfortable as possible.
Cons:
Street parking is tough after 6pm and there is a risk of a ticket ($80) on Tuesdays if you are in most spots on the street ( not super clear where is safe that day).
Should really be advertised as a smokers place. Though the unit itself may not be, it seems both the units below smoke both cigarettes and/or pot. The smoke fills the unit no matter how much you blast the ac unit in the living room and most windows don’t have screens so if opened will let bugs in.
Mary makes a good effort with air freshener and I don’t blame her but the air quality as result is quite poor over night and we woke up coughing a ton everyday.
The stairs leading up to the unit are quite aged and on the days that we had rain they seemed soggy and unstable with a couple of bolts that were missing. This will likely be a safety concern if not addressed soon.
Overall it was fine but if I had known about the smoking situation I would likely have book elsewhere as it was an issue for us. I don’t fault Mary as a host but I do think that upgrades to the ventilation and screens on windows will need to be invested in, if this unit wants to be attractive to non-smokers,as I’m sure there will be more complaints if not.
