Pros:
It’s close to everything in north west
It’s an easy ride to the monuments, museums, and the wharf
The unit is mostly very clean
The kitchen is pristine
The bed is comfortable
The roku TV is a nice edition
The owners are good with communication and responsive to issues i.e the water backing up during showers
Neutral:
The neighborhood initially looks rough/not safe but the unit itself has been spruced up; we never felt unsafe during the visit. It’s actually a really cool, diverse area
When we were arrived, they were obviously still refurbishing it because there was still Lowe’s construction paper around the door + the steps leading to the door seemed to be unfinished + the attachment for the toilet paper wasn’t fully installed and there were big holes in the bathroom wall
The parking spot is on a precipitous downward slope, so backing out can be tricky
Cons:
The bathroom was kind of an eyesore and was the low point of this listing
Some of the tile is broken and chipped, leaving open holes around the sink area
The bathtub has stains all throughout
The caulking job looked pretty poor
The hot water knob wasn’t in great condition but it was still functional
We couldn’t control the temperature inside so it got cold at times
The bed is advertised as a queen but seemed much smaller than the queens we have at home
Noise: early in the morning (maybe around 8ish or 9ish) on each of the nights we were there, we heard a lot of stomping, walking around, toddler shrieks, talking, ball bouncing, and dog barking, so sleeping in after getting in late was nearly impossible; there is a door partially wedged in the area that separates the studio from the upstairs living area, but there’s still quite a bit of open space between the top the door and where the door would typically be attached. That gap caused us to hear what was going on upstairs even more.
So, overall, the stay was just ok. The main issue was the bathroom. It was a fantastic price and we saved a lot of money compared to what we’d pay for staying in a hotel for 4 nights.
