The apartment is easy walking distance to Mayo. There is a great coffee place 2 blocks down, Spyhouse Coffee, if you don't want to make your own. There are a couple of good restaraunts within walking distance.The Mayo construction near the unit makes driving almost impossible, so plan accourdingly. This is year 2 of a 5 year plan, so it isn't going away any time soon.There is a washer and dryer in the building that is free, however, the other tenants and housekeeper do not keep an eye on their laundry so don't count on being able to do a quick load. Laundry is left in one or both appliances all day and overnight. If you need laundry done quickly, find a laundrymat/washateria,There are 2 refrigerator/freezers in the unit so you have plenty of space to store things that need to be cold. There isn't much counter or cupboard space for dry goods. There are no drinking glasses, only coffee cups. We didn't use the stove, just the microwave and the coffee pot. Both worked great!The daybed doubles as a sofa. It might be uncomfortable for anyone with knee, hip, or back problems. Ditto for the dining chairs.If you like big, fluffy bath towels, bring your own. The ones in the unit are adequate, no more, no less. The shower was good.The bed is comfortable. The floors are uneven. If you have trouble walking or vertigo, these might cause a problem. The air is controlled for the entire house. There are fans in the closet that made the unit comfortable and the windows do open.
