This review is coming from the mom of a one year old who is also 8 months pregnant, so I’m going to be a little picky about my experience BUT other parents will appreciate it!
- This place is loud. There was a lot of street noise (festivals, emergency vehicles, cars with loud music) that kept both myself and son awake. The floors are authentic wood floors, and they are very loud as well.
- Furniture is not baby safe. The counter tops are all glass with sharp edges and one of the edges on a table was broken and cut my friends leg when he bumped it.
- You can hear everything. There was another couple under us who also appeared to have a baby. We could hear that baby running around, crying and the couple talking. I’m sure they could also hear our baby stomping around and crying which isn’t always fun.
- The parking situation in the garage is nice (one spot/unit) but since there are two units, that means you’re sharing the garage with people who may or may not be respectful of the space. Both times there was a car parked in the garage, we struggled to squeeze ours next to it because it was parked over the line. Parking on the street is free, but I didn’t see a spot open the entire time we were there.
- Shared space outside. Since there are two units, the space outside is shared and that was a little awkward a couple of times. It’s a small yard/patio so if someone is out there the space can’t really be shared.
- Missing stroller. The second day that we were there, we set our sons stroller downstairs for maybe an hour. We set it inside and next to the sliding glass door to walk out to the patio/yard so it was inside of the unit. My husband went to grab it and it was gone. When I messaged Matt, he informed me that the cleaning lady thought it was a “lost and found item” and she had taken it.. he also then asked that we don’t keep anything outside of our unit since it’s all shared space. This was all a little weird and confusing but it was returned promptly and in its original condition.
- Many stairs and doors. There are several stairs at the front and back door which were difficult for me because I am so pregnant. There are also many doors to walk through, and they’re older so locking and unlocking them each time was a chore.
- Overall, our experience was not bad. I just would have chosen a different location had I known most of the above, so I wanted to share with others!
