The apartment was fantastic. It was large, lots of light, great internet, hot water, in a great neighborhood. Rich was very helpful and accommodating.
Normally this apartment wouldn't deserve less than 5 stars. However, I only give it three stars for the following reason: The first day of my stay, I came from my work meetings at around 5 PM and threw my dirty clothes in the washing machine. The cycle in the machine was very long (over 2 hours!) and the machine is very, VERY noisy. At some time past seven, the downstairs neighbor knocked on my door, visibly upset because of the noise of the washing machine. It seems that the wooden floor amplifies the noise. I felt terribly about inconveniencing him. Fortunately the machine was done while we were talking. The rest of my stay was quite stressful, as I was afraid any wrong move would make undue noise and further upset the neighbor. There was no further incident, but I wouldn't recommend the place to people who are considerate of others.
