The location was about a mile walk from the center of the city where all the major hotels and restaurants are. The apartment was on the edge of a gentrified area with some homes in need of quite a bit of repair close by. The apartment building was renovated on the outside, but the foyer was in need of some paint and new carpeting. The apartment itself was also in need of paint in the main living areas and second bedroom as well as carpeting. There were a number of scuffs on the wall. The furniture was nice and the living room had a beautiful large window overlooking the street.
We had no contact with the owner, but he was accommodating - leaving two sets of keys and the internet password. The main concern was the state of one of the commodes. It was not clean, so we did not use it. Also, there was mold in one of the tubs. The owner had mentioned that a cleaning service was used. If so, they did not do well.
