One-bedroom-City Livin'

The apartment was nicely decorated, comfortable, and clean. The neighborhood was surprisingly quiet being only a few blocks from a busy road. And the apartment building was also quiet. There are grocery stores and other conveniences nearby. The bed and pillows were firmer than I prefer but not uncomfortable. There are air conditioning units in the living room, kitchen, and bedroom and they worked well, although it didn’t get much above 80* outside when I was there. The check in/out process was easy with communication through text. I did have a question about check out that was never answered, though.

Pros: Convenient (but a bit noisy) location, nice building neighbors (also rentals), small/safe building, laundry. VERY well priced and the reason we didn’t complain much during our stay. We were not expecting the Ritz. Cons: A nightmare check in. We arrived very late (with approval) to an uncleaned unit. Another Vrbo was provided later in the evening, but it was very inconvenient. The building is old, which can be fine, except it needs a deep clean & some TLC from the owner. It was not super clean, and I can understand how that happens, if a unit is constantly booked. Housekeeping only has a few hours, which makes it unlikely to clean as thoroughly as might be needed. Back stairs were filthy, a few dead & live cockroaches outside/inside the unit, very old pots, rusty cabinet, etc. We’d asked about the balcony door locking (another review said there was no lock), and were assured that there is one. There isn’t. There was also patio furniture pictured, but there is none. We contacted them about these issues, and were told that it’d be addressed. It was not, and we just let it go. The washing machine was very dirty. The heater made a clanging noise when it turned on/off, so we just left it off at night so it wouldn’t wake us. Customer service was quick/ friendly, but not super reliable, & at some point we stopped reaching out & waited out the remainder of the time. Just got kind of tired of complaining. We had another booking with them that we canceled. 4/10 experience.

This is a little older place, but it was clean, comfortable, and just what I needed. The area is active and pleasant. This is my second or third time using this host. They always communicate well and are ready to help or answer any questions. Highly recommend.

Great place to stay! Perfect location! No issues at all!

Great place! Parking can be limited at times, especially weekend nights.

Great place. Location was great and was convenient with quick access to the interstate. Would definitely stay again!

We came in town to see a show at the Fox, this was a great location for getting to food stops, shopping, tattoo parlors and much more. Very comfortable and wonderful host to work with.

Safe, comforting and cozy. Wish i had the personal sign that was there.

The cleaners did not properly clean the house prior to our entry. There were coffee stains on the kitchen floor, black hair all over the bathroom, and dirty towels left in the floor of the bathroom. The listing stated that there was a washer. It is located in the basement and should not be listed as an amenity. The thermostat did not work properly the first night and we woke up to 62° on an already chilly morning. The hot water in the shower did not work well. The interior door to the bedroom that goes out to the porch does not have a lock, only a chain. It did not feel safe. There were neighbors yelling our second night and it was difficult to sleep. The owner was responsive to texts and offered to have the cleaning crew come again. We will not stay here again as this property was not as pristine as the pictures. It definitely needs some upgrades and attention. This is on a one way street and parking could be a challenge if all residents are there.
