Comfortable
The apartment match pictures and the description provided. I spent most of my time in the apartment while my daughter attend her workshop. I felt at home. Only suggestion is the hallway walking to the apartment, the upkeep needs improvement and maybe put some air fresheners stickers out.

Nice weekend stay
The apartment was nice and clean. The wifi didn't work but we were out most of the time so it didn't impact us too much.

Negative experience
It's not often that I'm a complainer. But I have to say, we were appalled by the rental. First and foremost the locks on both front glass doors have been bashed out so anyone can get in. They don't even latch. We never had to open the lockbox, we just walked right in.We had to spend time attempting to get the tops of the windows to close. Ultimately we couldn't force them all closed. It was the biggest problem on friday and Saturday nights when we faced honking cars, fighting tenants, amd very loud cussing from outside. The internet, and therefore TV, did not work at all. We contacted the manager but it sounded like we needed to set a time for them to come look and we were on vacationwith my family! The coffee maker also didn’t work (which seems to be missing a piece). The "fully stocked" kitchen was hardly that. 2 pots and no way to use the oven (no baking sheets or anything). In the main bedroom there was a fitted sheet and lightweight blanket - not good for when it was snowing and we couldn't get the windows to close all the way. We were left 2 towels for 4 people at a 5 night stay. I will say there is plenty of street parking. available.
