The basement apartment is located in a central location that is close to public transportation, several grocery stores, and many cafes and restaurants. Devin was also very responsive anytime there was an issue. Having said that there were several plumbing issues that impacted my ability to enjoy the apartment, especially for the first half of my stay. Also, the backyard was not usable due to a lack of furniture and an assortment of things being stored there. This was disappointing because the backyard was one of the main reasons I chose to book the apartment since I was there in the summer. In general the photos of the apartment need to be updated to reflect what it looks like now, but in particular the backyard as it doesn't look like the posted photos at all. For people who like to cook it should be noted that there are limited things to cook with. However, if you are mostly eating out for lunch and dinner then this won't be a problem. While the apartment was mostly clean, the kitchen could use a deep clean, especially the inside of the drawers and the shelves. Overall I was hoping for a better experience with the apartment.
