Needs extensive repairs to ceiling / concerns about failing ceiling paint

Franklin the owner was very kind and understanding. Unfortunately, the building is in a state of disrepair, there appeared to be an active leak in the ceiling and I could only bring myself to stay one night, despite having booked a week-long stay. I had to scramble for another place. (very stressful with kids) because I woke up after the first night with bits of the ceiling material stuck to my forearm. The building is VERY old so I was concerned given the age of the building that the materials in the ceiling could be hazardous to my / children's health. Upon check - the maid greeted us; they were very nice but had obviously been smoking in the unit because it smelled strongly of cigarettes. I was also not too impressed with the kitchen situation. Very few cooking options (one portable cook-top burner) it was difficult to work and cooking one item at a time is not ideal. The refrigerator was also making an awful whirring noise and did not keep anything very cold. I had to throw out everything I bought the next day. Overall, I would say the stay could be improved and the house has the potential to be really awesome. I hate leaving bad reviews. Bullet points: *Fix ceilings ( no family is going to feel safe with the ceiling the way it is) * Improve the kitchen cooking options and replace/ repair the refrigerator * Have cleaning staff avoid smoking inside the unit.

Interesting place

Very interesting location. Air conditioner in one bedroom only and it has seen better days. I would have liked to know that it was a second floor unit.

Unplanned Visit

We were in Reading for a funeral in JANUARY. The apt. was clean, warm with comfortable king size beds. nice big shower with HOT water. Franklyn was very nice and accommodating, answered quickly to any requests. No stove only a hot plate, that's fine if you are planning not cooking full meals. Entrance is towards the back of the home. Sounds weird, but once you see the layout you understand. Your private entrance, walk up to the 2nd floor and you are there.

Great older property

Apartment is pretty good…and a work in progress. Quite spacious and all necessary amenities for a short stay (no stove). Owner is quite amiable. Beds great and linens great. Three flat screens. Shortcomings are threefold: bathroom needs upgrade (no hot water on last day), entrance can be spooky at night, and parking is abhorrent. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and would stay there again.
