The Good:
*Access to public transportation, shops & green space.
*Building/Unit: Ground floor unit, so no stairs/ elevators to navigate. Building is quiet, clean & well maintained.
*Full kitchen (including utensils) so cooking is an option.
*Laundry in basement.
*Host was responsive.
The Bad:
*The apt. is furnished cheaply and everything, including the beds, were uncomfortable. The linens were old and cheap, sheets would not stay on the mattress, pillows were useless. I wasn't expecting the Ritz, which was good 'cause this wasn't it.
*On front door of the the unit, there is only a generic lock/chain. I don't care how "safe" a neighborhood is, that seems like a penny wise, pound foolish choice. This is still a big city, and that lack of security concerned me.
.
Head's Up:
*While there are two small TVs in the apt, the one is the common space was awkwardly placed, difficult to see.
*Internet went out a few times.
