There were some great things about the property and a few things that need to be improved to make this a 5-star stay.
Location is solid, very walkable neighborhood!
Apartment has everything you need in the kitchen.
Designated parking spot.
Some things to be aware of include there are steep stairs to get to the second floor.
Some areas for improvement include host communication, smoke smell, noise control, and upgrading bedding to higher quality.
Host communication: Initial communication should include all details (instructions for parking, entering property including passcode, and instructions for connecting to WiFi). I had to message back and forth for the passcode and WiFi information.
Smoke smell: When people smoke outside, it comes up the stairwell and enters the back bedroom. Invest in an air purifier or better seal the door. Additionally, one of the clean towels in the bathroom reeked of marijuana.
Noise: It’s an old house so sound travels really easily. Neighbors were not loud but you could still hear them. Invest in noise machines for the bedrooms.
Bedding: Very cheap and not breathable. Invest in better quality sheets (or bring your own!)
