I stayed at Stephen's place for a few months while I worked in the city for a summer project (with my dog Coco!) and absolutely fell in love with the location! Stephen was a great communicator from beginning to the end, check-in was easy, and the amenities met my expectations. The only real worry I had was the noise from the train being too loud for Coco to stay relaxed at home while I was working. Ends up, it wasn't that bad at all. It faces a small courtyard area with trees, so any train or street noise is really blocked out. The train comes in and out in waves, but it wasn't the kind of train that had blaring horns the whole time.
The bed was absolutely SO comfy! It was easy to feel well-rested, even as I got used to the train outside. And I'd occasionally take naps in the hammock in the living room. My dog loved the place! Stephen was accommodating when I asked for extra keys for a dog-walker, and to make sure there was an AC unit during the hot summer months so she could be home alone.
I felt like there was everything I needed. I could easily cook and enjoy the kitchen, I took lovely long baths in the huge bathtub, and made the table in the livingroom into an art desk.
I also fell in love with the location. The park is so close, which I absolutely need to walk in every day with Coco for her exercise, but also for my own mental health. The train is steps away, making it an easy commute to the city. And there are not only good restaurants, but practical, locally-owned stores that I could do most of my shopping at.
Highly recommend
