Great location for Hoyt Sherman Place

Never got any information on getting keys so did a chat with VRBO. They said they contacted property manager and also gave me the phone number. Called and talked to him and he was great and gave me the key info and lots of great info on the area but said he never heard anything from VRBO as far as contacting him.

1920’s

While some may wish to lodge in antiquated amenities I prefer a room with a thermostat instead of space heaters and a walk in shower rather than a claw foot tub. Microwave was not cleaned prior to my arrival because i found an old piece of pizza in there. Floors creaked and tv did not receive any local channels.

Nice 2 bedroom apartment

I found this property to stay while enjoying the State Fair for a few days. I had great communication w/ the owner. We got to the property in the dark. My GPS on phone was accurate however when entering it on my GPS in the car it couldn't find it. When we arrived and parked it was a little creepy walking to find the back entrance since we didn't know where to go. Eventually at the top of the step a motion light came on. It was hard to see the lockbox to get the key out and struggled with it. I had left a message on voice mail for Steve and he did call back. It wasn't until in the call that he said he was out of the country. I suggest that both numbers go on to the VRBO site or at least in to the check in message with which was best. The kitchen was clean and nice. Microwave was a little high for my kids (10 and 12 and shorter). The internet we did struggle with not always great connection. Not much for TV, but we weren't there much. Small bedrooms with few outlets so plan accordingly. I was disappointed as I didn't realize the shower was handheld which was difficult. Not much room to stand when curtains closed to shower conveniently but tub was good, just not what we were used to. There was a smell when we came in to the apartment. Mentioned to Steve when we came in. Our noses adjusted to it, but could smell the next night when we came back. Unsure if it was another resident smoking or what but would have been even more of a bother to myself and allergy jinxed children if we spent more time there. Couch isn't the greatest and it's the only real seating. The table had stools but no backs, so after long day of walking around the Fair we couldn't flip on theTV and put up our feet or do much with 3 of us. Limited towels so if you have more than a person or two for more than a day or two you will need to hang your towels as there aren't extras. Also I'm not sure how the air was supposed to work was loud in the bedrooms and in our bedroom would go off and 30 seconds later kick back on. I didn't feel I was getting cooled to the temp I had it set on so nothing in other rooms. Pillows were thick but no other option. It was clean but not my first choice if we ever go back.
