I had a good time,wish it was longer tbh. Very nice apartment, very spacious. I had everything i needed and the desk area was perfect for my work. Ty for everything.
Really happy and safe space. Cute location. Near everything. Sweet neighborhood. Solid community to rent in. Awesome hosts! Super communication. Very accommodating
Place was clean and suited our needs. Mini split AC’s in the bedrooms kept us nice and cool. Kitchen had a fridge, microwave, coffee pot and cooktop. Plates, bowls, cups and utensils. Also had some pots and pans. There is a washer and dryer located at the base of the stairs leading up to the apartment.
It was very clean. My only wish was an oven and maybe a step stool in the bedroom. The King size bed is pretty high off the ground and I am very short so it was difficult to get into the bed. Otherwise everything was great
We liked it so much the first time, we booked it again! Very spacious. Only thing that disappointed us was that the oven was removed the 2nd visit and when doing an extended stay, that was difficult. I would recommend they put in an oven like they used to. How are you supposed to cook a pizza!!?

Response from VrboOwner on 15 August 2023
Thank you for being our guests. In truth, we removed the oven for hygiene reasons, as it caused us many issues with guests who cooked and left it dirty. To prevent this, we decided to remove the oven and replace it with an electric induction stove that only has a surface. Additionally, so, you can use only pizza delivery. Thank you! 😊

Location was good. Apartment was ok. It took a lot to cool the place and the air conditioner worked
Good location for what we needed, would rent again.
