This apartment was not the place I initially booked (my reservation at the place I initially booked got canceled unexpectedly), but I'm so glad that I ended up staying here. The location is great: it's close to public transportation (such as Light Rail, so easy to get to from the airport, for example), many attractions (Guthrie, Stone Arch Bridge, downtown, U of M campus), many interesting restaurants, cafes and bars and Trader Joe's. The apartment is also very nice and a perfect space for 1-2 people. I had a problem with check-in, and I called the 24/7 line and got help right away, so the communication and support were great.
I didn't give the place itself the highest rating because there were some gaps that are very easy to fix and that would make it a perfect spot:
- Batteries were missing in the TV remote
- There was no sponge for washing dishes,
- There was no paper towel in the kitchen
- There was no kitchen towel in the kitchen
- A sign or instructions pointing to where the trash can is would be super helpful. I looked for it under the sink and didn't find it and then totally accidentally found it in a different space that I had somehow missed, but not till the last night that I was there.
In addition to the above, the following would be very nice additions (although less critical than the above):
- A throw/blanket for the living room sofa
- An umbrella
Having all of the additions above would take this place from very nice to perfect/exceptional. Despite the gaps, I'm really happy I ended up staying here and would gladly stay here again.
