Pro's:
- Place was very clean. The bathrooms, bedrooms, hallways, were all very clean. Only the microwave and oven hadn't been cleaned, but wasn't a huge issue since we didn't use the oven. Probably an oversight of the cleaning crew. I'm also guessing Aaron would've taken care of it if we had asked.
- Location of the place was great. You're not directly on a major shopping street for walking around, but with a car, you're close to everything you could want. We found the location to be great and very accessible by car to all things. There's actually a brewery just down the street, but we didn't get a chance to visit.
- The two bedrooms and two baths were really handy. There isn't much of a dining area with a dining table and chairs, but there is a comfy green couch with a coffee table. There are two bar stools for a side table if you need somewhere seated to eat.
- Everything feels really new, which is nice. It all adds to the feeling of cleanliness!
- Check in was a breeze. Just a code and a lockbox. Super easy and super quick.
- Instructions were very clear for check-in and check-out.
- Big TVs in each room in case you feel like binge watching TV on a rainy day!
- Coffee machine w/lots of k-cups for any coffee drinkers.
Con's:
- There are about 7-10 steps to climb down to get to the unit (and 3-4 to get up to the outer door). Something to keep in mind if you have elderly folks or a lot of baggage.
- The unit is a basement-style unit. You don't get much natural sunlight. There are two windows in the bedrooms, but they're below ground level so you don't get too much light from them.
- As mentioned above, there isn't really a proper table/chairs for eating inside the unit - just a couch and coffee table. Not much of an issue since there's so much to do outside, but heads up!
- You'll need to bring your own face towels. Aaron only provides bath towels and one hand towel per bathroom.
- There are some basic kitchen things - glasses/bowls/spoons/pots/etc. However, if you plan to do cooking, you'll need to get all the basics - salt, pepper, oil, aluminum foil, etc.
- Since it's a lower unit, if there happen to be kids staying above you, you'll definitely hear the pitter patter of little running legs. Luckily, the kids above us when to bed and got up at a reasonable hour, so we didn't have to deal with the sound too often.
Overall, great stay!
