Rodrigue (owner) and Aya (property manager) were very quick to respond to some issues left over from the previous renters. The apartment was very centrally located, although it was on an alley behind a strip mall, which meant there were no views at all from the apartment or the deck (just a view of the walls and roof of the strip mall) and parking, while on the street, was a half block away from the apartment, which was inconvenient. And the apartment below had a large dog that often barked, starting at 6:00 AM and continued whenever we or others passed the apartment.
The apartment was simply but tastefully furnished and comfortable. But renting it presented some challenges: the shower wand was 7 feet up in the tub, too high to ever reach; the rod in the closet was 6 ½ feet up, a challenge for my wife to reach; the drapes in the bed room were dirty and a drape was missing from one of the living room windows; there was no box spring so the mattress was lower than usual and it made making the bed and keeping on the fitted sheet almost impossible; there were not enough hangers so we purchased additional ones; there was only one towel rack in the bathroom and no backup towels (only two bath towels and two hand towels) which meant we had to go to the nearby Laundromat frequently to wash them; and finally there were a minimal number of dishes and silverware which often required us to use the dishwasher twice a day. While the ad said the apartment could sleep 3 (one on a futon) it did not have an equipped kitchen or bathroom to do so. For short term renters this could be a good rental, but not for a month as we did.
