We had a very nice one-night stay with this lovely family. Our son had a blast playing on their well-loved treehouse and jumping on their trampoline.
The apartment was very clean in that the things that you expect to be routinely cleaned after guests leave (floors, counters, sinks, etc.) were VERY clean. My only cleanliness comment would be that the tub could use some recaulking, but in general, the apartment was extremely clean.
As another reviewer mentioned, we also found the wifi to be a little weak, but we got by. Rather than streaming a movie, we watched a DVD from the apartment's little DVD library. There were lots of thoughtful little touches like this, including mini ice cube trays in the fridge and a large selection of notecards and books. Jana and Craig were also very kind and helpful in giving suggestions for things that we needed. And their children were very sweet to our two-year-old, who was pretty fascinated with them.
I would best summarize this listing by saying that this is a busy, happy family who has thoughtfully carved out a little sanctuary for Airbnb guests. And they work hard to keep and preserve the little sanctuary as a clean, restful, and cute place for visitors.
The apartment was walking distance to many wonderful restaurants and shops. We walked to dinner three blocks away with our two-year-old (no stroller) and everyone did just fine.
Tips:
The apartment does connect to the family's basement through a door in the bedroom. So if this freaks you out- now you know. (It didn't freak us out.)
There is no TV, so if you plan on partaking in the DVD library, bring something with a DVD player.
Street parking was easy, convenient, and free.
The kitchen setup is best for moderate cooking, like eggs in the morning. I wouldn't recommend trying to cook all your meals here for a week or anything like that.
Hip neighborhood, good value, lovely family!
