The unit is as advertised. Nice little apartment above the garage. Easy to get in and out of, safe neighborhood, GREAT location.
The Friday evening I stayed there, the owners had a pool party that evening that went well into the night. Once it got dark outside the party moved to the garage or whatever is on the ground level which seemingly was directly below the bedroom and I was unable to sleep. It was very loud, rowdy, and reminiscent of my college days renting an apartment on campus. If my partner had been with me we would have put serious thought into leaving, but because I was a solo traveler and the door was deadbolted, I felt a higher degree of confidence that nothing too bad would happen.
Future travelers should take that into consideration, but I believe it would probably be a one-off.
A few notes future travelers should be aware of:
- there is 1 primary window near the office nook, at the top of the stairs, and it does it have a blind/curtain. It looks directly over the owners back yard, into their house, etc. I did not like that feeling so I hung up my own blind.
- I did not feel that the lock on the door knob was the most secure (an intruder could probably force the door open with little resistance), so any traveler should deadbolt when they can
- there is no shower curtain. Not a problem for me, but can see how it may not be the most ideal for others.
- the skylights are great, but the one in the bedroom is directly above the bed, meaning you may be waking up with the sun.
