A comfortable, well-equipped property in a great location. And a few problems.
The location is within easy walking distance of restaurants and Federal Hill Park. The pass provided made parking relatively easy. The townhouse is thoroughly and thoughtfully equipped. Replies to communications were swift, friendly, and responsive.
There were a few problems. I feel that as a reviewer, I should report what I observed, and let the reader draw any conclusions.
(1) There was a large rack mounted on the wall inside the front door using heavy iron pipes as hanging rods and posts. Just before we checked out, the entire unit came loose from the wall. Inspection revealed that it was mounted with three small-gauge screws in drywall anchors, nowhere near enough to support the large, heavy unit.
(2) On arrival, there were hand towels and a washcloth hanging in the two full bathrooms, all apparently used. Also, the toilet in the top-level bathroom was clogged, requiring plunging to clear it.
(3) There were tiny ants in the top-level bathroom.
(4) Sticky floors may be more like a pet peeve, but when mopped floors aren't thoroughly rinsed, footwear sticks to them. It's unpleasant, and makes it seem like they're not as clean as they might be.
Weighing positives and negatives, I would return to this rental when I'm in Baltimore again, and I recommend it to others. With the exception of the coat rack becoming detached from the wall, the negatives were minor annoyances that had little effect on our enjoyment of a wonderful weekend.
