Check in went smooth, the owner even let us check in a hour early. The apartment is really cute the futon which was the only seating in the living room was very low to the floor and had worn out padding in the seat you could feel the frame of the metal futon. Maybe the cleaning service forgot to clean the bathroom the floors weren’t clean. The location was great, the town is super cute. We enjoyed our stay.

Host was had good communication. Might I suggest that you add an additional place to sit. Love seat or regular couch. We got dinner and had to sit in the futon that was not very comfortable at all. The lamp behind the futon is broken and almost fell over when I turned it on. I'd also suggest a space heater for the bedroom during the cold months. There's a significant difference in temperature between the main room and the bedroom. Had to crank up the heat and use the fan to direct the air into the room. I'm sure it's very hot in the summer as well. Probably won't stay there again.

The place was nice but not as clean as I would have liked. A lot of hair in the bathroom and on the bedding. We did have to call 911 at 2am. People staying in another unit were banging on the outside door for 30 mins cause they were drunk and not able to figure out how to get in. The police arrived quickly and took care of the situation.
