Perfect location, almost perfect residence
This place comes as advertised! The beds are pretty comfortable and we fit 5 people comfortably for nearly a week. The location is excellent, there's a dollar store and convenience store across the street, as well as a full grocery store less than 10 minutes walk down the street. The metro is also just a 10-minute walk away, plus several bus stops within a block.
The place was great overall, but there are several suggestions/inconveniences we had with our stay:
- If you're planning to cook regularly during your stay with more than a few people, it is rough. Kitchen supplies were quite scarce (dishes, glasses), and there were hardly cleaning supplies. We had to go buy our own cleaning sprays and supplies to maintain the space and properly clean pots/pans (which were not non-stick, making it worse). We cooked every day for typically 2 meals.
- The floors are VERY cold in the winter. Even with the heat running, bring slippers and thick socks to wear around the house because it gets very cold very easily.
- There is no rug/runner in the entryway. We had 5 of us, so five pairs of shoes always going in and out with no place to wipe them/store them was annoying. The entryway was covered in slush/salt/water within a couple of days.
- There is zero storage for clothes or bags in the residence. All closets are locked up and dressers are full of spare linens. You have no place to unpack your bag/suitcase.
- Host didn't communicate until move-in day. No answer questions until then.
