A friend and I stayed at the Emmy Lou for approximately 3 months while working remote jobs. Overall, we had a great stay and it did the job of giving us a place to live while in town. It is in a cute area but kind of stowed away in a less populated corner of west end. I will say, after a 16 hour drive and arriving at 12 AM, I was a little nervous when I got out of my car and felt like I was about to be living in an unsafe area for the next few months. The roundabout that it is located in is pretty small and empty - but after my first night, I never felt unsafe. The other people living in the area as well as the Airbnb rentals were full of kind and understanding people. I especially loved the area in the center to walk my dog (and having the ability to bring my dog was a big reason why I chose StayLocal.) And the apartment is in walking distance (>1 mile) from a great coffee shop (Sump) as well as close to other restaurants and a Walgreens. Not to mention, the Parthenon was so close and my favorite place to go to on the weekends! While, for the most part, the stay was fine, there were a few negatives that I want to note. I will start off by saying that StayLocal answered every single one of my messages in a timely manner and attempted to help, but they were things that were pretty avoidable to begin with which is why I am noting it. Upon arrival, I had to deep clean the location not just to my standards but to be even relatively clean, as well as spend money on far more cleaning supplies than I intended. The water came out orange in the bathtub faucet nearly every time we tried to shower, there was hair all in the drain of the shower and sink, dust in the AC vent, crumbs left in the kitchen, it did not seem that the dishes had been clean, and the comforter was stained. When I let StayLocal know, they offered to send the cleaning crew back over, so I appreciated that, but at that point I just wanted it to be clean so I did it myself. The other major problem was the AC. It was really loud when it turned off/on, which we got used to pretty quickly. However, it did go out twice during our stay. Thankfully the StayLocal team was quick to answer and sent over fans when they were unable to get someone in to fix it for a day, and the fixes were quick and easy. The only other thing to note, which has nothing to do with StayLocal but just the area is that the wood floors are really loud in some spots, and for the most part you can hear most things going on in the three other apartments if you are in the hallway and sometimes even in the living room (if you do not mind a little noise, it is not unbearable). Overall, the experience with StayLocal as a company was good and we would be excited to book with them again. The apartment specifically was not perfect, but it would have been much worse without a cooperative management team.
