Tom and Anna's place was awesome for our family of 4. Anna even went to see if we could fit an air mattress in the living room in case our kids (6 and 15) didn't want to share the pull-out bed that lives within the sofa. There are plenty of extra linens and if you're in the gang of folks that prefer to have a top sheet (I am), we just used the extra duvet covers as the top sheet and then used the provided duvets + cover. *Note: whether or not to use a top sheet is a personal preference. Originating from the South, my personal preference just happens to be #TeamTopSheet and Tom and Anna provided plenty of linens.
The street parking was easy. I think that we had to park around the block for maybe 1 night? On our other nights there it was easy to find parking right in front of the apartment. For many trips into the city, we opted to take the train, which was also super easy to access.
The back bedroom was super quiet and I loved waking up to the view of the super cute back garden. Had the weather been nicer, I would have enjoyed a book and coffee out there. The living room turned into the bedroom for our girls and it wasn't as quiet. That's just the nature of living in the city though so we easily fixed the issue with earplugs. Historic buildings in big cities just make noise, so if you're a light sleeper, just bring earplugs and you'll sleep like a baby.
I loved staying in this apartment; I wish I could live there. The kitchen and bathroom are AWESOME. They did not cheap out on appliances, including the installation of the washer and dryer.
When we're back in BK, we hope to rent Tom and Anna's place again!
