Nicholas was very helpful and accommodating. He made a point to show us around the apartment and share local recommendations based on our interests.
The main issue we ran into was cleanliness. There was visible dirt/grime on the light switches, the kitchen floor, along the floorboards etc. Although Nicholas states that this is his house, and it's expected that there would be some of his food in the refrigerator, we found that the fridge was dirty and looked like it had not been cleaned in a while. Finally, we discovered that the bedsheets and pillowcases on the bed contained significant and extremely noticeable stains. And, all of the replacement sheet sets were also noticeably stained.
We reached out to Nicholas and he was very responsive. He was out of town, but he had a friend drop off clean, stain free sheets that same night.
The neighborhood is great and this could be a wonderful apartment to stay in, but the dirtiness made it hard for us to feel comfortable.
