So here are the pros and cons of my experience
Pro:
Convenient location that is close to north park which is fun area!
Easy freeway access
Assigned parking
Air conditioning
Allows dogs
Very comfortable- great shower, comfortable bed
All necessary amenities
Fast and clear communication from the host
Enclosed patio
Keyless entry
Cons:
Location is in a somewhat questionable area.
Several homeless people consistently live around the apartment which is a bit uncomfortable when you're alone at night. (IE walking a dog)
A little inconvenient you can't go through the front door at times to access grass in the front (for the dog)
Good size for one, but might be snug for two people if staying for a long period of time.
Not a walkable area with local restaurants, but everything is a short driving distance.
I wrote the host to tell them about the cigarette smoke smell in the apartment and they answered right away and offered to have it come and cleaned ASAP. Overall a decent stay.
