Well, expectations are everything. Sanelle's place is affordable and, true, access is pretty easy. I wish there was some mention in the listing that this apartment is located at the intersection of a major freeway and parkway. It's practically at the light so the freeway traffic and cars accelerating from the light up the freeway ramp or along the parkway was a constant all day and night. Again, it's all about expectations. For many, noise may not be an issue at all. For me, it makes or breaks a stay.
The photo of that gleaming hallway gives the impression that this apartment is much larger than it is. Take note.
The place was clean and orderly. Sanelle was very responsive when I called about an issue with a window. I had a slight issue checking in and he was all over it, getting it worked out in a minute. That matters a lot and I appreciated that level of care. I never had a problem getting in or out. I felt very safe in the neighborhood and enjoyed a stroll to a local market to get some water (and I say this as a male). Sanelle had sanitizer at the landing and wipes in the apartment - very thoughtful.
I would recommend this home to those who are on a budget and aren't bothered by or can live with the noise. No reason to not stay here if that's the case. Good hosts and a very clean apartment.
