This stay was OK. There were some pros and cons:
Pros:
-The big bay window in the living room provides awesome sunlight in the morning and a beautiful view of the lake.
- The street and apartment were very quiet.
- The apartment was very big. We had two people and it was huge for us!
Cons:
- The host over communicated a bit too much. From the time we checked in to the time we checked out he messaged me five times inquiring about when I was going to check in and re-repeating all the rules of the house to me. It came across as a bit aggressive and a little annoying.
- You can tell by the over glossed and highly edited photos the host provides that they are trying to make it look nicer than it is. The apartment is very old and worn. The floor is slightly slanted and creeks very loudly all over the unit whenever you walk.
- There is definitely a musty somewhat damp smell that you can notice as soon as you walk in.
- The shower was very complicated and tricky to use.
- The host is stingy with towels and linens. So make sure to pack your own if need be.
- Parking was not easy to find.
- No outlet anywhere near the bed in 2nd Bedroom. So if you want to plug-in a phone or bedroom. So if you want to plug in a phone or alarm clock make sure to bring a long extension cord.
- The heat was turned on very high and the unit was extremely hot. There is no way to control the heat. We wondered if it was controlled by the unit below us. We had to open all the windows and turn the fan on because it was so hot.
