Unfortunately I had mixed feelings during my stay at Dan’s place. The positive take-away’s were:
1. Dan’s a great communicator, messaging with urgency and detail.
2. Check-in and out system with the automated lock were great, simple and effective.
3. Nice decor with great kitchen utensils, updated appliances and entertainment systems (TV & Echo).
4. Cute patio outside, which regrettably wasn’t used!
5. Aldi Supermarket was just a couple of streets away, quick and easy to buy groceries.
The not-so-great was:
1. Unfortunately, there were quite a few bugs lurking around; a couple of crickets, mosquitos, spiders over the course of a few days. Thankfully, Dan had bug spray and after it was used the bugs frequency subsided but sadly I had already become a fatality with some pretty bad bites :( haha!
2. The apartment was smaller than expected with the bathroom being extremely tight.
3. Dubious neighbourhood and location wasn’t ideal for sightseeing.
4. The listing states “Free parking on premise”, unfortunately this is not true, there is limited free street parking. The parking was very hard to come by as the “free” street area’s were occupied quickly and parking further afar was impractical due to the neighbourhood. This was extremely disappointing for us and searching for parking became a daily tradition on the days that we had stayed. I had presumed that I would be avoiding this as the listing led me to believe that parking would be supplied on the premise.
Overall I would say, Dan’s place is great for 2 people stay 1/2 nights. If you are staying anything more or have a car, it isn’t the most accommodating in terms of apartment space or parking.
