We loved staying here. It’s a perfect spot for a family with little kids. VERY clean and easy to keep clean. Nicely updated and new kitchen. The bathroom tile could use regrouting. It’s the only place in the apartment that wasn’t sparkling clean, but had clearly been cleaned as well as possible. That grout is just old and crumbling and the tile work at some point should be redone to match the quality of the rest of the apartment.
Parking was easier than we expected. Great location, wonderful neighborhood feel. Walkable to a ton of good restaurants and a Whole Foods. I would’ve liked the convenience of being charged a few extra $ to be provided some laundry detergent, as air travel with laundry detergent is not at all practical. Neither is buying an entire container for a few days’ stay, and they do provide a washer dryer that I really needed to use, but ended up using a friends house instead.
The floors are very nicely finished concrete. Could do with some area rugs in the bedrooms and a larger one in the living area, to help give a warmer feel. It does get cold and has a cold feel because of the bare floors. Waking up to the chilly crisp climate and ice cold hard floors is a bit shocking, but an easy fix with an area rug.
All in all, this apartment and host were GREAT. I like that they give you complete privacy but are still easy to contact if necessary. I love how spotless it was and how much they clearly value cleanliness. I loved that they provided age-appropriate toys and books for our boys. I loved the simplicity of the furnishings and design, without being devoid of personality. They hit the right balance there.
I also love that they provide plenty of pillows of different loft and softness to suit a variety of preferences. I would have liked access to outlets near the bed, but that’s an easy fix with power strip or something. I loved that they had plenty of towels and a fully equipped kitchen with kid-friendly cups and plates, etc.
We would definitely stay here again.
