Small but good for the price. Host was responsive and helped us get internet reconnected. Missing a few kitchen things like coffee filters and cooking oil that would have been nice to have but provided a Sleep mask which was helpful!

I stayed in this apartment from August to December, and while I enjoyed the stay there are were some issues I encountered. 1. Incorrect Door Codes Provided-The door code I was given to enter the building was incorrect. I overheard other customers experiencing this same issue when it came to trying to get into their apartment units2. No hot water-First week I was there I did not have hot water for a bit because the people working in one of he lower units forgot to turn it back on3. Wi-Fi-During the last 2 weeks of my stay the wi-fi network stoped working. I let the host know about it and while I was told that they would look into the issue, I never got wi-fi again.

We had quite a few issues with this rental.1. Unfortunately the pictures of the rental are inaccurate - while the layout is correct, the furniture is not as pictured. 2. The WiFi did not work and the hosts responded initially but then didn’t follow up with a solution. 3. We visited during a particularly warm stretch in early April. It was noted in the listing that AC units are not installed until May, however, there were no fans or even screens in the windows. We slept with all windows open, allowing bugs in. 4. While the bedding seemed clean, the rest of the house was not as clean… moldy caulking surrounding the shower, clogged sink (with hair coming up), hair, boogers, and dead bugs on the walls, random tape on the wall, broken blinds, etc. For the aforementioned reasons, we did not sleep well at all the first night, and requested a cancellation from the hosts for the remainder of the trip. Again, the hosts responded initially, but it then took several inquiries from me to get an eventual response with a denial of refund. One lesson learned - if you have an issue with a rental - contact VRBO immediately (instead of property owner) so that they can assist you.

Rough start, good finish

There was a snafu when we first got to the apartment. The cleaning crew never showed and the property owner wasn't aware. As soon as they were made aware of the issue, it was quickly remedied. The apartment is small but served our needs. We all slept well and the beds were comfortable.
