I wasn't sure what I was getting into BC there were no reviews but it turned out to be a highlight of the trip! It's just like in the pictures but only better! I booked the same day I needed to stay. Jacob responded promptly and warmly and was very welcoming the entire time I stayed. I would definitely stay again if I needed a place for 1 or 2 people: if you bring an airbed perhaps 4 if host is amenable but definitely not more than 4.
After grabbing the key from the lockbox, walked into a comfortably cool room that was lit up with natural light but not bright ( this was a treat after being in the sun all day) It had everything I needed to recharge:
Bedroom/sitting room: grey interior decor lent a calming vibe. There was ample floor space for me to do yoga but enough room for a full size airbed (not included). The chair was comfy to curl up into with a book.
Bathroom: clean with a high-enough pressure shower. I couldn't avoid touching the shower liner but it was clean so didn't bother me.
Roomy Clean Kitchen: new-looking appliances and dishware (Keurig coffee machine plus coffee provided!) I very much appreciated the new dish scrub: I've had many dirty sponges provided from other units so this was actually a treat: NEW cleaning materials
Laundry Room had a lot of extra supplies. (This was reassuring as I had stayed in places that have left me only a half roll of toilet paper.)
Things you need to be aware of:
1) If you like to sleep in and are light sensitive, bring an eye mask. The natural lighting isn't bright (from a couple small uncovered windows) but BC I'm light sensitive, was enough to wake me.
2) This spot is beneath another unit and like a lot of other apartments where your ceiling is someone's floor, you'll be able to hear upstairs residents go about their day. It's quite funny: sounds like they're stomping around but I know they're not. It was dead silent after 11am and I didn't hear them again until late morning. The sounds only startled me at first but I got used to it.
