Alex's basement apartment is on a beautiful, quiet street. The area is very lovely and it is nice to just walk down the tree lined brick sidewalks. It is a safe area and we had no issues what so ever. We stayed for eight nights so this truly was a home away from home for us.
The kitchen is nicely furnished for simple meals. We cooked 2 meals a day during our stay so you can save money on eating out if you are there for a few days. Simple needs like spices, oils, sprays, coffee, and sugar are provided. Several items were in the refrigerator like creamer, butter, and sauces. We made one trip to Walmart (free parking garage) on the first day and had enough food to last our entire stay.
The beds and linen were very comfortable. We had a good nights sleep every night during our stay. I had back surgery several years ago so this was a big plus for me.
The bathroom had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Everything provided by a hotel was in the bathroom. Soaps, shampoo, cleaning creams, facial wipes, lotions, and plenty of towels and washcloths.
We did have a couple of minor things that we had to learn to deal with. The shower is small. While washing hair our elbows were constantly hitting the walls and our shoulders were hitting the rack hanging from the shower head. Both of us that stayed had that problem. The water pressure is weak in the shower also. It is a large spray head so there is a lot of water that comes out, just no pressure behind it. A spray head with half as many holes would probably fix the problem. The other issue was no A/C control. The temp is controlled in another part of the home and it would get warm when we cooked. It eventually cooled off by the time we went to bed but for an hour or so we had to sit in front of the provided fan to feel comfortable.
I highly recommend Alex's apartment and I would stay there again gladly. It really is a nice safe area and transportation is right around the corner. I give it two thumbs up!!
