There were a lot of great things about my stay. The location is perfect. The house is located on a quiet, beautiful street with easy parking, but it is also very accessible to public transportation, and there are lots of great restaurants within walking distance. The place was also impeccably clean. And the water pressure in the shower was amazing. Tim was professional and kind. He was easily accessible but didn’t overly communicate.
However, the listing wasn’t especially clear on the situation. While the listing does mention that the washer and dryer access is shared with the building’s other tenants, it doesn’t make clear that that washer and dryer are right in your space. What this means is that tenants can and will walk through your living room and kitchen area to do their laundry. This happened once Saturday and five or six times throughout the day on Sunday during my stay.
The tenants were very nice and friendly, but it was still disconcerting to have a stranger appear in your living room with no notice. The result of this was that with every noise I heard in the apartment, I tensed, expecting someone to come in unannounced. Perhaps this wouldn’t bother some, but as a single woman traveling alone, I was on edge the whole time.
Also, don’t plan on anyone sleeping on the couch in the living area, as tenants are able to come and go as they please through that area between 9am and 9pm.
For this reason, I think this should be listed as “private bedroom” rather than “entire apartment”.
Again, it’s a great little garden apartment, and if you aren’t particular about personal space, you’ll enjoy your stay. But I would not be able to stay again.
