*** I am listing PROS first but be sure to read CONS before booking.
PROS: My husband and I appreciated the quick & positive responses, polite staff to handle maintenance issues, the cleanliness, the pretty decor, natural light, kleenex, organic soap, kirkland’s toilet paper, comfortable beds, soft sheets, high quality pillows, building security, outdoor walking track, gym, sauna, jacuzzi and dressing rooms. We also enjoyed the proximity to many high quality restaurants, mature trees and ability to Uber or walk.
CONS: VERY loud street noise; non stop car honking and emergency sirens all night. Unless you’re the type of person who sleeps like a rock through anything, I do not recommend this apartment unit if you are a light sleeper.
AC Units were advertised but they were actually only fans with no adjustable temperature. The apartment has no cross ventilation so during the day the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms get very hot. The fans barely cool the bedrooms down at night. If you are a hot temperature person I do not recommend this apartment. The Fans were also very noisy and I had to wear earplugs to muffle the noise which is very uncomfortable. My husband and I did not sleep well the four nights that we stayed.
The modern, spiral staircase has very narrow steps and only one railing. There is a huge ga of space from the step to the hand rail. My husband and I are active and the staircase in my opinion is precarious, awkward and possibly dangerous for children, persons overweight or the elderly.
The downstairs shower is the only suitable shower for adults. The upstairs shower includes a tub that is strangely narrow so when I spread my feet a little wider for balance to rinse my hair of shampoo I almost slipped and fell. The tub is only suitable for bathing small children yet the staircase is not safe for children to climb.
If the management company actually adds real AC units, blackout blinds and some form of soundproofing on the numerous floor to ceiling windows, replace the upstairs tub & staircase this apartment would be 5 stars.
We normally spend $100-$150 a night and occasionally more. Now I know why the apartment was listed at $76/night.
