STAY HERE.

OVERALL: Excellent experience! I stayed 6 nights at 85$/night from 12/21 - 12/27. What a deal! I have a bad habit of comparing Airbnb stays with hotel accommodations in my head, but I won't this time.

COMMUNICATION - Communication with Craig was little, simple and friendly. I could find my way easily without having to contact him. I love that. I didn't like the lockbox though. It's so difficult to deal with. I might just not be used to those things though.

PARKING - Free! Usually hotels charge $10+ per day. Craig makes sure you got yourself a spot !

LOCATION / NOISE / TRANSPORTATION - Short drive to downtown! Next to a hospital, so you'll hear sirens. It doesn't bother me much even though I am a light sleeper. Can't hear neighbors at all :D. Lots of walkable restaurants/coffee shops, but I prefer driving to get around to get to the downtown activities. Parking SUCKS downtown so beware!

GENERAL - This apartment is like 450 sq ft but the furnishing layout of the apartment fits perfectly. The modern furniture depicted in the photos are organized differently, but in general the photos are accurate in that it is a clean and tidy place. The place is also darker. Normal homey lighting. This is during the winter, so when it was dark outside, it was also gloomy inside. Remember this is someone's apartment you are staying at, so you'll find the refrigerator stocked with items with space for you to put your leftovers. There are plates/dishes/silverware that are available to you. Some dust on bed frame/window sills, but not a big deal. I'm only noting the dust because my nose is very sensitive. Along with the dry and cold weather, my nose bothered me several times while in the apartment. Just a thought if you are also very sensitive. Hallway leading towards apartment is NOTHING like the apartment, so it's really misleading. It kind of sucks, but who cares. It's not like you're sleeping in the hallway.

BATHROOM - Standard size for a loft. Most importantly, it is VERY clean! He provides shampoo, conditioner, bar soap and towels.

LIVING ROOM - Comfortable and clean. I really like the solo chair with it's own leg rest. The couch is pretty standard IKEA quality comfort.

BEDROOM - Center of the bed is slightly sunk in. My back is a little sensitive to the shape of the bed and I'd prefer a firm and level mattress, but that's just me being picky and honest. Comforter is made of down feathers so it's really warm. The sheets are clean and warm as well.

WiFi - My boyfriend and I like to surf the net on my phone before I go to sleep, and the WiFi got testy at times. My boyfriend switched to LTE in the middle of the week.

Anyways, that's all!
