This is a great little apartment! With the washer/dryer, dishwasher and parking pass, it is a wonderful place for a long term solo stay. Parking was usually easy to find, and in my month long stay there were only a handful of times where I was not parked directly on U st.
Some caveats:
This is a basement apartment, and sound travels pretty easily from the upstairs. The owners have a dog who could often be heard scrambling around (but only barking occasionally), conversations could be heard but not understood, judging from the sounds I heard one morning there seems to maybe be a home gym located above the bedroom/bathroom area (?) and there were some boisterous guests on a Friday night. None of these significantly negatively impacted my stay, but you should be aware that if you're looking for complete quiet, this isn't the place for you.
I wouldn't recommend the space for a long term stay with two guests, there simply isn't quite enough space for two people's bags/belongings. A short term stay would probably be fine.
The door pictured in the bedroom does not give access to the back yard, sadly, likely because of the owners' dogs. This was a bit of a bummer but no big loss. There is a little outdoor seating area in the front.
In the bathroom as it is, there are no shelves or space for toiletries besides in the shower itself (the under sink space is mostly taken up by cleaning supplies). I've let the host know, and hopefully this changes, given that they *did* put a microwave in, in response to guest reviews. I was also disappointed that there was not enough toilet paper for the entirety of my stay and though there was a tissue box holder in the bathroom, no tissues were provided.
Last, the host who you will be communicating with it not the owner, but rather a company, and you'll speak to several different employees. This adds a layer of difficulty to communication since you can't speak directly to the people who live above you, and in my case, caused a communication mishap that prevented me from being able to extend my stay.
Overall impression:
As I said, this is a wonderful little apartment, & my "complaints" are pretty minor. I would stay again and I would definitely recommend this place to a friend. Despite the communication issues, I would generally recommend Home Sweet City's listings.
