If you are planning to stay at Grace's place with children/minors, please be aware: the bathroom does NOT have a set of blinds over the window as pictured. The window is covered with two unlined panel drapes. THEY ARE SEE THROUGH. There is an occupied apartment window about five feet away. We had to hang a mattress pad from the drapery rod to make the bathroom safe for our kids. Likely, this was a simple oversight. But for a family with children, it was non-negotiable.
The location is great. A Safeway is around the block and the closest Starbucks (which are everywhere!) is just two blocks away (& next to a bus stop). The closest bus stop is an easy walk up the street. The mattresses on the beds in her apartment were exceptional. We slept really well every night. Better than I sleep at home... I think we need a new mattress ;-(
Other than the mattresses and the location, our stay at this location was rather disappointing. The pictures posted are, I think, several years old. The leather couch now has tape covering a large hole in the seat cushion. The fridge was dirty with leftover food. The coffee pot had leftover liquid AND MOLD floating inside. There are no top sheets on the beds and because of the low quality of the linens, including the duvet covers, there is hair woven into everything. Everything. We wondered if the laundry had been done. It seemed that the bottom sheet was the only thing routinely laundered because the duvets felt dirty (because of the hair) and the mattress pads were unquestionably dirty (because of the obvious accumulation of body oils). The apartment in general appears much cleaner in the photos than it actually is. The bathroom privacy issue-- I have no words. I can only hope this was an oversight. Privacy for minors is non-negotiable.
Overall, our communication with Grace was fine. We sent her a picture of the coffee pot and she never replied. She couldn't offer much help with parking garages and the pass she left for us on the microwave expired in Dec 2017. It was hard to believe she didn't already know this. Other questions we had, she answered promptly and tried to be helpful.
I think this place has a lot of potential, but we would not return.
