Gretchen and Jim are the perfect hosts. They communicated early and often. The apartment had coffee and filters available, kleenex in most rooms, umbrellas available on hooks near the door (which were also perfect for hanging masks), a few munchies upon arrival, many books, DVDs and games, and ice trays in the freezer. We didn’t eat in, but they had plenty of kitchen utensils, plates, and cups. The bedding and towels were clean and crisp. They even provided extra pillows on each bed and there were more than enough hangers in the closet. The location of the building was perfect for walking to many restaurants, a liquor store and a dispensary (if you are so inclined) - and Thump Coffee is only a block away. We didn’t have a car, so I can’t comment on parking. A car was not needed. The room air conditioners and fans kept the entire apartment comfortable and it was in the mid-nineties when we stayed. We had a wonderful stay. I must admit that I was worried when I first saw the apartment. I am used to staying in luxury apartments with my wife, and this is not a high end apartment. From the outside it looks like a college apartment and when we walked in, there was a faint smell that reminded me of younger days. My fears were quickly abated once I saw how well outfitted and clean the apartment was. It was a great value with SUPERB service.
