This review is from the end of August 2021, so things will change. The view is great. We also walked 5 houses down and got on the rice creek trail. And, this place is under construction in a few different ways. When I booked it several months ago, and it said, "kitchen under construction" I optimistically thought it would be done after three months; it was not. So, we had use of a fridge (but not freezer) and stove, but the area those things are in is also exactly how a kitchen remodel is-dusty and with kitchen supplies in it. You can kind of prepare food, but you'll be washing your hands, fruits and veggies, and dishes in the sink in the bathroom. (we washed the first set in the bathroom anyway; we left a set at the end, because it seems like a bad idea for bathroom plumbing). There's a counter in a kitchenette but it is full of all the things-the toaster oven, the microwave, the coffeemakers. Best to not try to cook here. Also we blew a fuse by using two of those items at the same time. The dishes, btw, are all the kind you buy when you have toddlers. Some parts of this place are very clean (the bedrooms, the inside of the toilet, the countertop in the sink and kitchenette area) but then where new windows have gone in there's Reno dust, etc. It's hard to tell in the pics but the ping pong table is in the middle of the living room. That might be a great set up for some folks (who use it, for instance). Other reviewers have said it feels a little like you're staying in someone's grandma's basement-I'm pretty sure that's exactly it: a space well appointed for when the grandkids come. So, if that suits you, this place is great for a good price.
