Ryan and Yu were super friendly and responsive any time I had a question, and the place was nice and felt new. There was a bit of a sewer-y smell coming from the washroom that sadly never got resolved, though gotta give props to Jason (the caretaker) for being friendly and doing what he could to fix it. He said it was likely an issue with the recent rainy weather and the sewer system, and other people I met at the place didn't have the same issue.
The description of the room is accurate, but wanted to point out:
- The place is _small_, even for a Japanese apartment. I'm tall so it's especially noticeable, but the restroom was small enough such that I couldn't close the door while sitting down 😅
- The kitchen space and tools are minimal. There's about 8-10" of counter space between the burner and the sink, and not much in the way of tools to make cooking easier (no drying rack, mixing bowls, etc).
That said, InTheHood is great and I'd definitely stay at one of their locations again!
