We had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas here. Kitchen is very well-stocked with everything we needed for a full-on turkey dinner. Loved the old house. App is really cool.
Pros: spacious rooms. Plenty of towels. Parking was super easy (always found spot right in front of building). Traffic noise was a non-issue. Very close to Target, Home Depot, movie theater, etc. big shopping center @ a 10 minute walk. Nice kitchen. Salt and sand miraculously appeared as soon as it began to ice/snow.
Cons: stairs are quite steep. It’s on 2nd floor. building is very old so living room is VERY cold even when you are roasting in two bedrooms side by side. No real dining table. Tiny, cafe style table in kitchen. $45 charge for 1.5 hour early check in.
Main issue/ Had no heat or hot water for first two days - and it was about 20 degrees outside. Had to go to upstairs, third floor unit to shower for entire stay. On Day three Lance did offer for us to move completely upstairs. This was a hard no as we had set up anChristmas tree, had set up all our own baking stuff - stand mixer, pie plates - all the groceries, and were completely moved in. Also, my husband has bad knee and two floors was already hard. Lance was fairly quick to respond to issues (within 5 hours usually) but did refuse to communicate by telephone. Later we noticed in another review that they also had no heat/hot water. This seems to be an ongoing problem. We disputed the early check in charge due to lack of heat and hot water, and Lance refunded $400. That warmed us up a bit!
All in all, we had a wonderful visit. And would recommend this apartment as long as you are a patient person if there are issues. Really was a neat little place.
