Five stars for location, cleanliness, host contact…literally everything. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. So why did I give it three stars? Because there are just enough annoying nuances that drove me crazy. First off, the house is absolutely not sound proof. I could hear every door slam, bird chirp, and car horn for what seemed like a 2 mile radius. What’s worse is the soundproofing is definitely nonexistent from the apartment overhead. I am not sure if that tenant tap dances or does weight training or is part elephant but they were the noisiest upstairs neighbors I have ever experienced. Have you seen that friends episode where Mr. Heckles gets mad because Monica and Rachel are being nosy? That was us this weekend with that particular noise (except it was actually noisy and not just us complaining for nothing). Next, I don’t think there is any central air conditioning. There are these weird fans on the wall that I think are supposed to fill in as air conditioners but they don’t do the trick. The house got stuffy. Third, the refrigerator is not level so every time you opened the door the entire fridge shook. Fourth, and this is more an FYI versus a complaint, there is no ice maker in the freezer. Finally, and probably the most annoying and worst part for us, was that the cable box for the TV restarts about every 45 minutes. We came to town and both wanted to watch our college football teams play their games, but after experiencing this with the TV the first night we were there, we knew we couldn’t watch our games at the apartment. For no rhyme or reason, the cable box would just restart out of no where. It wasn’t a fast reboot, either.
The apartment itself is amazing! Cute, quaint, and very clean. It was honestly a fantastic location, especially for the price. The host was very responsive and helpful to all of my pre-check in questions. I would definitely stay here again and recommended other to do so but I wanted to share with everyone what I wasn’t a fan of because it was just enough to drive you crazy. :)
