The apartment was very cute, clean, and well located. Unfortunately, there was a strong, pervasive sewage smell in the apartment that did not become less offensive over time. We thought we would adapt to the stench eventually, but sadly this was not the case. When I emailed Alison and John about this, they apologized but didn’t offer to do anything about it. Also, when I first arrived, a window had been left open and the heating was off, and since it was a cold night, the apartment was too cold to take off my coat and scarf and it took hours to warm up. It’s too bad about the initial heating issues and the continued smell, because otherwise this would have been a lovely stay.
