Would have rated 3 stars but Melanie was a very communicative host and tried her best. Unfortunately we visited during a snowstorm so our experience was colored by that fact. The apartment was slightly less than what we thought it would be, missing lightbulbs, damage from the prior guest (missing blinds) and missing utensils. However Melanie was quick to remedy what we notified her of. The location was good and close to downtown. There was construction across the street that started at 8 am, along with an extra barky dog that was let out onto the deck across the road at 7 am. Also the snow around the apartment was never cleared by the complex and no shovels were available meaning we weren’t able to move the car for a week and the stairs into and out of the apt were straight up hazardous. That said, you would only ever have to deal with that during a polar vortex.
