Our party of three had a 6 night stay in October 2022 and enjoyed several aspects of this location.
- KITCHEN: We used all of the kitchen features except the oven and all worked well. Well stocked with pots and pans (non-stick coated). Drip coffee maker provided but no kettle so we boiled water on stove for tea and espresso. Set of Farberware knives - not fancy but worked. Paper towel holder in kitchen but no towels provided. Plenty of dinnerware and glasses.
- WASHER AND DRYER: These are located in the third floor bathroom. They worked well but the washer is a front loader so you really need to leave the door open in between uses to avoid mildew. Scented detergent provided.
- GARAGE: We appreciated the security of a garage but it is pretty tight if you have a larger vehicle. Our Audi Q7 had only a few inches to spare. Garage has some strange items in it (a sofa) that make a small space even smaller.
- STREET PARKING: Always saw spaces available and seemed safe. Some higher end vehicles parked out front. Special parking stickers provided by the host for overnight parking on the street.
- MASTER BEDROOM AND BATH: The upstairs bedroom does not have a door - you just walk up the stairs and you're in the room. If you want to go to bed and the rest of your party is still using the kitchen/living area, you will be able to hear them upstairs. Bathroom is generously sized with large walk-in shower (no tub) and a large walk-in closet (hangers and iron provided).
- FIRST FLOOR BEDROOM AND BATH: On the small side. Bed is large enough for 2 people but not much space in the room for large bags. (You can put them in the entryway though.) Hanging space (and hangers) provided in the closet but no place for non-hanging items (so we kept them in our bag). Double doors into the bedroom give it an open feel and there is one step down to enter. First floor bath also small with a shower (no tub).
- NEIGHBORS: For the most part we did not hear the neighbors on either side of us. Just once they were using their patio late at night. When we closed our patio door, it was fine.
- TRAIN BEHIND THE BUILDING: The train going by was not a bother. There is no whistle or braking sounds - just a gentle, rumbling whoosh as it goes by. We kind of enjoyed the sound:)
- NEIGHBORHOOD: Felt very safe. Lots of people walking around even after dark. You are right in the middle of lots of shopping and dining options. A neighborhood feel but still close to downtown. For us, the best part of this place was the location.
