The apartment is clean and the space was adequate for our family of 3 adults and two small children. The best thing about it is the location within steps of an awesome playground and a nice cafe.
The unit needs some minor repairs. The bedroom doors do not close completely. The living room has a smoke detector dangling from the ceiling.
Check-in was chaotic. There is no lockbox as described in the listing and Pamela did not send instructions in advance. We messaged her from about 20 minutes away but did not hear back before we arrived. Seeing no lockbox, we found a key under the doormat of one of the two units but not the other, so assumed it was the one we had rented and let
Ourselves in. After we had unpacked we heard back from Pamela and it turned out we had checked into the wrong unit, so we had to move everything next door. Not so fun.
Also worth noting is that while there is technically laundry dedicated to the unit, it’s in the very unfinished basement, which is accessible only through the bulkhead, and it’s clearly in heavy use for laundering linens for this unit and the one next door. Of the four machines down there, two did not work and the other two were full of wet linens that we had to remove to do our own wash.
We did not pack a hair dryer because the listing said the unit had one. It did not. We messaged Pamela about it and she was kind enough to drop one off the next day.
Overall our stay was fine, but not aligned with our expectations given the price.
