The blue velvet was a good stay. We had a family of 6 (4 kids aged 10-17). The apartment was very clean and full of cool technology. The rooms were decent size and all the kids could have their own bed which is a must lol. The beds were comfy. There is 1.5 baths which was nice for the kiddos. The apartment as a whole was updated and modern. The kitchen was good sized and had just about anything we needed for our stay. We had a hiccup in the beginning with laundry but was rectified. We also mentioned about a grill and he was putting one together when we arrived. Overall the place was a good stay and the host was great.
Pros: Spacious bedrooms, family oriented, technology, location - quiet neighborhood, grill, full kitchen, 1/2 bath, BJs card from Derek for shopping, 2 rooms had individual thermostats for temps in those rooms, Derek was easy to get ahold of, tons of plugs/outlets for charging, huge bean bag for extra area/space for kids, comfy beds, huge fridge, patio was nice as well, alcoholic bar offered (we didn’t use).
Cons: 2 flights of stairs - one outside and 1 inside to apartment: This wasn’t a big deal for us, but could be for others, the master bedroom wasn’t in the room with the half bath, location - seemed like 30 min to anything lol, no shoes upstairs - the space for shoes was small and with the 6 of us it was like a 10 min thing going and coming, parking was ok - there was always parking like described but wasn’t always close, no washer/dryer available- we had to drop off clothes (which was fine once we realized), towels were only renewed every 3 days otherwise there was an extra charge.
