PROS:
The apartment was spotlessly clean, conveniently located, and very chic in a nice quiet neighborhood.
The backyard garden/seating area is beautiful and calm. It’s lovely!
Communication from the owner is great.
Parking is also easy and off-street.
The kitchen is well stocked with a variety of pans and some knives. There is an ample stock of plates, cups, bowls, silverware…
The beds and linens are very comfortable and the bedrooms are nice sizes. Laundry facilities in the building are good, too.
There is a Whole Foods, liquor store, OrangeTheory fitness, and Starbucks 0.4 miles away. It’s an easy walk downhill to get there. There’s a bagel shop that serves coffee about 0.2 miles down the hill as well. That’s an even easier walk! And there’s a YMCA right nearby, too.
Quite a few options for door dash, grubhub, instacart, etc…
POSSIBLE CONS:
I do recommend packing your own knives if sharpness is a concern but I recommend that for all travel if it matters to you, so it’s a minor con. The knives in the apartment are usable, though.
The stairs to the washer and drier are steep and winding. This was not an issue for us, but if navigating stairs is a concern for you, you may want to keep this in mind.
