Cute and Cozy Rental Near Beautiful Lake
I rented this for a month in February. David was helpful and responsive as a host. He lives on the main level below this upstairs apartment. I found the furnishings to be cozy and well appointed. The bed was comfortable. I loved that there were live plants in the unit. Access was simple with a digital code. There is a laundry room in the basement of the house. I was pleased with my stay but felt there were just a few issues to note. I felt this unit was vacant for a while due to bugs, debris, and cobwebs, especially under the radiators. I bought cleaning supplies to clean these areas. Many of the drawers had debris and I wasn't able to clean or vacuum them due to the vacuum being broken. The shower is tricky to turn the knobs and get the temp just right due to old, sticky pipes. One bedroom light did not work, which was disclosed prior to my stay. I am not sure if they have been fixed, but there was a bedside lamp to use. The apartment gets good light during the day and is located close enough to the lake for a nice walk on the walking paths. The layout and space felt spacious with good flow. It is close to a large cemetery with impressive gravestones. I personally like cemeteries, so the location felt great to me. It is close driving distance to some cute restaurants and coffee shops. Access and location were ideal if you want to be in a cute lakeside neighborhood near the city center. Overall, this was a great rental, and I would stay here again and recommend to friends.
