The apartment is overpriced and not without its issues.
In particular, there were a lot of issues with the wifi—it was often extremely slow and then went out completely at least 7 times during the last month and a half of my stay. To Darcy’s credit, she reimbursed me for some of these issues (albeit, after my request and a lot of back and forth).
My other main problem with the apartment was the noise. Reviewers should appreciate that the garage apartment shares its primary wall with the main house, and that this is the same wall that the bed rests against. I discovered that the base of main house is more elevated than the garage apartment. Therefore, if someone in the main house was in the room with our shared wall, I could hear every single footstep—especially when I was in bed. I never heard people talking, but I could hear the footsteps and even feel the vibrations of the wall at times. During the quarantine especially, this was extremely distracting and woke me up most mornings.
Lastly, I was unimpressed with the state of the apartment when I moved in. The floors were literally sticky, the baseboards incredibly dusty, and several pots and pans had grease and dirt all over them. For a small apartment that could probably be professionally cleaned for less than $50, I felt like this was a little ridiculous—especially considering the $95 cleaning fee I was charged with.
With all of that being said, the apartment is in a great location, it is functional, and Darcy was very respectful of my privacy.
