We enjoyed our stay at Danielle’s place very much. We were two adults and two children aged 8 and 3.5 yrs old.
The location was perfect for us because my younger daughter lives in an apartment across the alley. In addition, there was good access to a major chain grocery store and playgrounds, key factors for us, within walking distance. Lots of other things/places - markets, restaurants, places of interest - an easy drive. The airport is not far, less than 10 miles; of course, access is very time of day/traffic dependent. Use a navigation app to get places because the fastest route can easily not be the shortest one.
I wanted to mention our experience with parking because there are several other comments on the topic. We had rented a “deluxe” minivan that could seat 8 although we never had more than 6 in the car. It is true the parking behind the unit is tight (it is a big city, land is at a premium) but we always found street parking within a block. Because we needed to leave for the airport fairly early, we parked in the unit space off the alley the night before. My older daughter backed the van in so the driver’s side was away from the fence, and she had little trouble doing that, two tries, only a little direction from her sister, and then could easily get out of and into the vehicle. Later the guests staying in the other unit came and were able to park their car in the other space. It is possible to use the unit parking spot.
The unit was very comfortable. I liked the mattress I was sleeping on, bedding was good, everything clean, loved that there was an actual light in the shower, kitchen well supplied, washer and drier very nice, air conditioning worked well. We only cooked breakfasts; ate outside at restaurants or brought food to the unit for all other meals because we were very busy, but there were plenty of pots and pans. We did not hear noise from the downstairs renters and hope that the kids noise, sometimes a bit loud, didn’t bother them – we were outside and out and about as much as possible even in the rain; the kids had umbrellas, too. There were a few maintenance issues (one of the bedroom door knobs was not functional, we needed toilet paper) and Danielle responded quickly. We were on our way out when the maintenance person arrived and he was very pleasant; the door knob worked by the time we returned.
