This was a beautiful, well-lit, charming old apartment. Assuming you don't want to be in downtown, the location is phenomenal. It's very close to tons of amazing shops and restaurants near Hawthorne, Sunnyside, and Division. The neighborhood is very charming with unique houses (and free parking)! And downtown is just a short drive or bus away.
While our stay was certainly a 5/5, there are a few things one should know before booking:
- The photos are outdated and contain some inaccuracies. While the photos generally capture the spirit of the house, some of the furniture has changed/downgraded and many of the plants have been removed. Additionally, the house does not contain oil, salt, pepper, french press, teas, or electric kettle.
- I believe another review mentioned that the house needs a touch of love. The toilet and kitchen sink need to be bolted down. Also, there are a few areas that need a decorative refresh to make the place feel less empty and more lived-in.
