First let me say that the rental was in an ideal part of town. Walking distance to many great bars/restaurants and plenty of on street parking to park the car. The air conditioning was amazing...kept the place cool even during the hottest parts of the afternoon....a major plus for anyone traveling to the city during the warmer parts of the year. The large wrap-around porch was a great place to have a drink and enjoy some people watching from a perfect perch, so that’s a definite bonus.
The major drawback is the second floor living space - a converted attic that is not featured in any pictures regarding the unit. This is likely intentional, as it’s an extremely small space that has low pitched ceilings, making it virtually impossible to stand up straight while upstairs. This is truly unfortunate, because 2 of the 3 beds advertised in the unit are in the attic room, as is the half bath. The second floor would be an ideal space for children, but is not practical for anyone over 5 ft tall.
Lastly, and I know this is a small detail to some - but for anyone who was born and raised in the south well knows, hospitality reigns supreme. To that end, I was a bit taken aback when I reached out asking where the extra paper towels are stored and I was told “we give you enough paper towels and toilet paper to get you started, but beyond that, you must provide your own...there are plenty of stores close by to purchase more if needed.” This was a bit surprising, as we had paid nearly $1000 for our 3-day stay and I was shocked that the fee didn’t cover an extra roll of paper towels. Again, not a huge deal, but slightly off brand if a gracious southern host is how you self identify.
