Fritz is a very reliable communicator and friendly. The check-in and occasional communications were fast and thoughtful.
Overall, I had a great stay (2.5 months) and would recommend this place to others for long-term stays.
Pros:
- Gorgeous garden patio right outside your doorstep with flowers, herbs, trees, and hummingbirds - it was always a delight to hang out on the patio. You have a small private area just for yourself and the larger area is open to a few other neighbors but they are all welcoming and it's infrequently used.
- The space is thoughtfully decorated, cozy, and charming. There are plenty of blankets, the couch is very comfortable, and the bed was firm and very agreeable (slept great!).
- The kitchen is well equipped (lots of spices, olive oil, some basic pantry items, most cooking tools, dishwasher, and cool glassware)
- Large windows with great natural light
Cons:
- The kitchen sink is a little small and positioned in a corner -- it's very functional but a bit awkward to clean larger dishes
- Since it's the bottom floor (and I believe a renovated basement...?), it runs a little cold and damp. You have access to a space heater though.
- There are the occasional footsteps and noises from above. Otherwise, it's very quiet - the double-pane windows help cancel out the minor highway noise nearby.
