Well....
This wasn't a good fit for us and Chip.
Maybe Chip was having a bad week, because he certainly wasn't hospitable or made any attempt to connect. And considering we had to go through his house to get to our apartment, it made for an awkward week.
He was a bit gruff and rude with both of us when we first arrived, so my friend and I decided to keep to ourselves for the week. The front door to his house had a box to punch in the key code, which we were given, but every time we went to open the door, we realized that it was unlocked - even late at night when we got home (we were doing a show and worked late) the house was unlocked. For two women in a sketchy neighborhood, this was not acceptable. We locked the door behind us every time we went in, but the next time we would leave or arrive, it was unlocked.
The apartment itself was nice - comfy beds, unique furniture and lamps and rugs, big kitchen with lots of vintage touches. Good shower, clean apartment. It was really a unique and charming place.
Had we not had to deal with Chip, it would have been a nice stay.
