Truly a much loved second home— we felt really fortunate to be here when everyone had to self-isolating during the start of the Covid-19 outbreak. Maria and Pete’s place has everything you could hope for in a long term rental: a fully stocked kitchen with spices and oils/ ninja blender/ good knives/ rice cooker (!), cleaning supplies and tools, and so many pillows and extra towels. The laptop work space is genuinely meant for work, with a power cord, notepads, and pens. The location was ideal for us since we were working at the Keller Auditorium. There’s access to a hot tub, a gem of a sushi place called Murata, Schmizza (for pizza and growlers), a CVS, a few small independent grocers, and the streetcar stops just out front. Fortunately we got to visit all that before being stuck inside! The smart TV and sound bar kept us entertained and in touch with friends and work digitally for the rest of our stay.
Note a building has gone up nearby, which actually bounces more morning and evening light in to the apartment. Parking in the area is tricky and break ins are frequent, though monthly spots are available a few blocks away so plan ahead! Maria was a great hostess and really helped us figure out a lot of things. We loved our time at this place!
