David’s place has a lot of potential:
Great location (walkable to some cafes and a target if you forget anything or you want some light groceries)
Parking available! this is a game changer.
Awesome communication from the host. David is very responsive.
Building residents were kind and peaceful.
However the unit needs some fixes and updates to really improve comfortability:
Electrical: Some appliances didn’t work (possibly due to the electrical outlets). For example my brother tried heating food up in the microwave but it would not work. i think this may be due to the electric because we also had trouble blowing up the air mattress that was on the same electrical line as the microwave.
The threshold to enter the bathroom was broken and presented a trip hazard. An easy fix with some crazy glue.
Lack of airflow: bathroom had no window or exhaust fan making the space steamy
Unit could benefit from ceiling fans to move air throughout the apartment too.
One of the designated parking spaces was extremely tight and had a dirty mattress and debris in the spot so I’m thankful there was a second spot we could us
Unit was dark but private. I liked the privacy.
Bed in the bedroom was comfortable.
Clearer instructions about the tv/TV remotes did not seem to work. Roku remote did work but there was no way to adjust the volume (which was on a loud setting) or turn the tv off so we kept it on home
Unit is probably best for 2 people rather than 4 but we appreciated the option for more people and the air mattress. We could have benefited from an extra comforter for the air mattress (luckily we brought a large quilt).
