Great location and perfect layout. Loved having the powder room downstairs. I had to supply a lot of my own basic supplies like normal toilet paper, garbage bags, paper towels and soap, and I had to wash a couple of cups in order to use them, but I have a feeling all of that might’ve been the fault of the host’s maid, not the host. I wish there had been a better coffee maker rather than a drip coffee pot. That’s hard when it’s just one person. (Many places have single-cup Keurigs today,)
Parking was super convenient in a private spot right behind the unit. You can pull your car right in front of your door to unload luggage and groceries before you go behind the building to park.
Central location was perfect. Kitchen pretty outdated but functional. It would be great if the host were to take advantage of a Black Friday sale and get a TV that you can actually see from the sofa – the 27 inch one is just really too small.
Having a patio was just a great bonus. Even an upstairs balcony, too! I probably would’ve sat out there every morning with my coffee over looking the neighborhood (and nice grassy front lawn) if I hadn’t been there on such a particularly cold and rainy week. (Another suggestion would be to have a throw blanket for the sofa for those cold evenings.)
I discovered on my last day that the sofa in the living room seems to be actually a sofa bed. That would be very convenient for families, as there are already two bedrooms upstairs, each with their own full bathroom, plus that sofa bed and the powder room downstairs. Unsure if there were sheets for the sofa bed, as I didn’t use it. Very handy to have washer and dryer in the apartment. Heat and air-conditioning both worked great. I would definitely stay there again with a tip to the host to provide a few of the missing amenities.
