Jacob's apartment was wonderful - it really felt like home.
I stayed for two full weeks and everything I needed during my stay was provided - from a fully stocked kitchen down to bathroom toiletries, iron and an ironing board. Having access to a washing machine and a dryer was invaluable for such a long stay as mine. The bed was one of the softest, comfiest beds I've ever slept in. The whole apartment was superbly designed, down to every last detail.
I was already familiar with the area and everything it offered, but the location of Jacob's apartment was probably the most convenient on Hawthorne. It looked on to a quiet street, but was within minutes of great bars, food trucks and a huge supermarket, with a bus stop located almost directly outside the house.
Mackenzie was great to communicate with and responded promptly to all messages.
The only downside for me was the noise from the rooms above the apartment. Although I was expecting some noise after having read the listing, I still felt the footsteps were particularly heavy given that guests were being hosted in the basement. The noise usually started as early as 8/8:30am, which was a real shame as I was hoping for some lie-ins during this vacation.
Everything else was perfect though.
