Modern loft apartment
Totally reasonable accommodations, but definitely seemed like the place was was intended to a real estate flip, and the owner ended up renting it out because they couldn't sell it.
After booking the apartment, I hadn't heard anything from the owner about check-in, so the day we were supposed to arrive, I tried to contact the owner to get instructions. Phone went straight to voicemail, which was full (couldn't leave message). The voicemail message had a phone number for his assistant, which also directed to a full voicemail. Ended up having to call VRBO customer service to reach out to him. Not encouraging when you're about to start a 6 hour drive and cross into Canada.
It was super clean and reasonably well furnished, but definitely a few things lacking.
When we arrived, the mattress seemed super uncomfortable - turns out it was upside down! We flipped it over, problem solved.
There was a thermostat, but it didn't appear to control anything. It was 80 degrees inside the apartment when we arrived, and we just had to open all the windows and wait for cool outside air to do it's work.
There is a brand new TV mounted to the wall, but no antenna or cable, so not sure it is more than decorative.
Kitchen had one frying pan and a small pot, barebones. But fine. Kitchen could definitely use a few basics - no can opener, no kitchen knives, no steak knives, no cutting board. Future renters may find the small cutting board we bought and left there. I dont expect a 5 star restaurant kitchen in a vacation rental, but those are pretty bare necessities to actually cook in my opinion.
I'm not trying to be totally negative, the apartment was reasonably nice, all things considered. Centrally located in the downtown district, plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, and reasonably priced. This review is more for the benefit of the owner, as this was listed as a "new property." A few tweaks and this place could really be a prime listing.
