Cute, bright apartment on the edge of a neighborhood undergoing gentrification. We enjoyed our 3 month stay and would come back again.
Pros:
New stainless steel appliances (Sink, fridge, microwave, and oven)
Comfortable bed
Walking distance to lots of good restaurants
2 AC window units that work great
Safe, off-street parking
Cons:
Furniture
Kitchen not well equipped for long term stays
Loud during the day
The apartment is in the attic of a large house with another 5 or 6 units.
The furniture while we were there was the apartment's weak point. The dresser is old and leaking polish that permanently stained our light clothing. All the furniture is definitely on it's last legs. When one of the chairs gave out on us the host was quick to replace it.
During our stay, the neighbors played loud music during the day, but rarely past 10pm. The park/street outside can also be busy/loud with sports and music, especially on the weekends. Other tenants do have dogs and birds and the walls are thin. The nights were almost always quiet.
The kitchen is a strong point, but not fully equipped for a long stay. For example, no cutting board, large pots, bowls, or kitchen knife.
Laundry is a coin-operated dryer and washer down in the basement. We never had issues with it being occupied by another tenant.
The bathroom is nice but the shower faucet is often stuck. I was not able to open or close it by myself; my husband had to do it.
