Tess is a fantastic host. She’s communicative, responsive and she went out of her way to help us with a request we had. She provided very thorough instructions beforehand on how to find the condo, and how to enter the building and the condo itself. You can tell that she’s a great host the second you enter the condo. She thoughtfully and thoroughly provided everything guests might need for a good stay. Even things like ear plugs or white noise machines, which she certainly did not have to provide. There were even coffee pods for the coffee brewer. The condo is as beautiful as it is in the pictures and everything is of good quality. The beds are comfortable with good quality bedding. We always worry when we stay somewhere that the beds will be like slabs of concrete, but these are soft and comfortable. There are two things I think potential guests should know about this condo before they decide to stay there. First, there are no pretty views from the windows. In fact, there is a parking garage literally right next door. This didn’t matter to us, because we were always out doing things. The other thing I would mention—and this was a problem for us —was that there’s a lot of noise around the condo. If you are a city dweller, it might not bother you . But we hail from the suburbs, and it was really noticeable for us. There are at least two hospitals nearby, so there were a lot of ambulance sirens in the middle of the night. There is a train track nearby and it must be near a intersection, because the trains blow their horns even in the middle of the night. And they’re quite loud. Lastly, the parking garage that is right next door makes strange industrial noises in the middle of the night that are loud. We used the white noise machines that Tess so thoughtfully provided, and they helped, but even with that our sleep was disrupted every night. So, if you’re older like us and are a light sleeper, that’s something to keep in mind. Otherwise, I wholeheartedly endorse Tess as a host and her beautiful condo.
