Isaac’s apartment was totally suitable for an extended stay and it was about what I expected given the price.
The bed was comfortable and the kitchen suitable for basic cooking needs. I did not have any issues with WiFi while working from the unit.
The only real issue I encountered was when the heat and hot water went out over the weekend. Isaac had repairmen come Monday morning, but the issue occurred on a Saturday so I chose to stay elsewhere for two nights but did not receive reimbursement. However, a week later I encountered the same issue and messaged Isaac. He promptly sent someone over to check it out, but as soon as he saw my message both heat and hot water came back on. I find it hard to believe that this was a coincidence. He told me the system is automatic, which is correct, but it was definitely cold enough that the heat should have been on.
A couple of main callouts to be aware of: this unit is located at the back of the building so it is much quieter since there is construction going on out front, which is great. However, it is ground level to a roof and there is very little light that comes into the unit. As well, there is no smoke detector inside the unit. The floors were extremely dirty upon arrival, and you could tell they had not been mopped in a while. The dishes were also not very clean and sticky. Inside the Garbage room I saw rats multiple times, but since that room is ground level I did not worry. There was another day where a cleaning woman entered into my room, she knocked and I responded but she proceeded to enter. She apologized profusely and was very nice about it, but I think this could have been avoided with better communication.
All in all, I enjoyed my stay at Isaac’s. Doing a month there while working from home was a little tricky, but it was comfortable and in a great location.
