The location of this apartment is not too far from town. Doug was easy to communicate with and pleasant. He answered any questions promptly. The apartment is one of about five apartments in a block, with a gated entry and room for parking (for a reasonable fee), and it felt like a safe place to park our car. The apartment is close enough to bus routes and some interesting shops. Our group of 6 felt that the upper two floors were quite modern, clean, and comfortable. We appreciated having a washer to clean our clothes, and there was a line out the back for drying. The bathroom was quite nice, and worked well. We appreciated that the kitchen had some tea and coffee and other odds and ends to cook with.
The main floor, which included the kitchen, dining area, and living room, had a peculiar odor, and the couches were covered with blankets, and were not inviting to sit on. The kitchen had all the dishes one would need, and was well stocked, but could have used more attention to the cabinet surfaces for cleanliness. The garden had some chairs in it, but it was not inviting to sit there as there were many weeds around. You may have to walk past some characters in a nearby alleyway on your way to the bus who seemed to be rather down on their luck.
