Pros: Good location, street parking was available, place was clean and newly redone/remodeled, bed was comfy, outdoor area was beautiful, and the scene of the trees from the bedroom was dreamy.
Cons:
- Kids upstairs are louuuuud - they run around a lot and you can hear it all very clearly throughout the day.
- The place was very cold - consistently colder inside than it was outside, probably because it’s a sort of basement unit below the main house and doesn’t get much light. They do have central heat but ask that you use it judiciously. I recommend packing extra jackets, thick socks, sweats, etc.
- The only frying/sauté pan they have that you can use on their hot plate is not in great condition - we had to use a lot of oil on it just to get things not to stick/burn and even then we set off the smoke alarm once
- Supplies overall are a little sparse. Only three full size bath towels, one hand towel in the bathroom, and one hand towel in the kitchen. The only sponge available for washing dishes was falling apart/barely usable. We also ran out of recycling trash bags.
All in all: We stayed here for a week, both working remotely and not leaving the place very much because of Covid. So we spent a LOT of time here. I would say this is a perfect spot as a home base for exploring the city, visiting family/friends who live nearby, or for just a weekend. Basically, if you’re just sleeping there and ordering takeout food/going out to eat, it’s great. Just a little tougher to live and work here full-time for a week.
