I lived in this unit for 2 months and had a great time! Absolutely loved it and would love to be back.
Pros:
- Really easy parking. Always found a spot right outside the unit. No street sweeping so you don’t need to worry about moving it on certain days.
- Super comfortable bed/pillows/linens. Also quiet at night, no issues sleeping.
- Small kitchen had everything I needed to make easy meals/reheat takeout.
- Awesome residential location, nice to walk around, about a mile to University Ave restaurants/bars. Right next to highway so easy to get around town.
- Because the unit is on the top floor, there is great natural light.
- The unit is behind a big gate which made me feel really safe. You have to walk about 100ft into the alley, but the alley has motion activated lights so I always felt safe.
- No issues with WiFi while working remotely (lots of video calls)
- Greg/Liscia were really responsive and pleasant to communicate with. I had to delay my stay a week due to covid and they were super flexible which I really appreciated. They weren’t at the unit often so I had a lot of privacy.
Cons:
- The unit is up about 12 stairs, no issue for me, but maybe hard for something with limited mobility
- The shower is very dark, I got used to it but initially felt awkward and difficult to shower in the dark
- The walls are pretty thin, so you can hear any activity in the alleyway extremely well (the most difficult was trash on Thursday mornings it is VERY LOUD and will definitely wake you up), other than this, alleyway sounds were pretty rare
- There is a neighbor who plays drums/electric guitar pretty loudly. In my 2 month stay I heard him play about 5 times. It normally happened in the afternoon for 1-4 hours, this wouldn’t be an issue if you plan on being gone during the day. Since I was working during the day, it was unpleasant when it happened.
- There were a lot of crickets in the unit, especially on the warmer days. I got good at catch/release, but at times the crickets were loud and annoying.
Almost don’t wanna leave a review because I want this place to be available next time I’m in town 😃 Thanks Greg and Liscia!!
