The location was fantastic, close to grocers, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, pharmacies, etc. Anything you need is within walking distance. I never felt unsafe walking in the neighborhood, it was quiet and quite beautiful.
The apt is older, has quite a bit of wear and tear (chipped paint, stained carpets, laminate tiles pulling apart from one another.)
The listing says there are window a/c units, but there weren’t. There seems to be central a/c and there’s a dial in the living room but it didn’t seem to control anything. There is one fan on the ceiling of the kitchen and none anywhere else.
The items in the pictures that made the place look cozy (throw blankets, pad on chairs, window dressings) we’re not in the apt.
There was a sour odor to the apt that was easily covered up with some freshener.
There were plenty of things to cook with, even some basic spices and oils. I wished there was a cutting board and some sort of counter disinfectant to clean the dining table and countertops. The kitchen and bath were very clean and that was great.
The place wasn’t like the photos, to the point that it was noticeable.
The check in and out process was easy and while I would’ve appreciated better communication with the host, they did promptly replace the batteries in the keyless entry so we could lock the front door of the building properly.
The location was the best part about this apt and for the price we probably got what we paid for.
