Allan gave us a very helpful briefing on the check-in process so that we had an easy time getting in, even while being exhausted after a long day of travel with an infant.
The apartment is a basement that is at ground level for the back of the house. It stays cool throughout the day and still has a good amount of natural light. A downside of the apartment being a basement is that there were a few (but not a disturbing amount of) bugs.
The apartment is in a quiet and safe-feeling neighborhood, and there wasn’t much noise coming from upstairs during our stay.
Our infant child had a rough night and we needed to do some laundry, and Allan was responsive to our request to use his washer/dryer.
We did have to buy a couple of items to use for cooking during our stay (oil, tupperware for leftovers, etc.), but there was enough cookware, dishes, silverware, and seasoning.
The bed was comfortable and spacious. During the summer, the room starts to receive some soft light around 5:30 am with the blinds closed, but it didn’t prevent us from sleeping in.
The bathroom is pretty small, but everything functions adequately. You may want to bring your own soap and shampoo, as what’s provided didn’t cut it for me. Be prepared to store your toiletries in the kitchen or on the bathroom floor, as there isn’t any shelving or counterspace.
Despite the few small critiques that I’ve mentioned, my family and I enjoyed our stay at Allan’s place. The value is decent, and I believe that Allan wants to provide a great stay for his guests.
