The location is good, with bus stops outside the front door and several nearby restaurants. Two grocery stores (Rewe, Netto) are walkable. Train station is walkable, although not currently operational. The rental agency is quite a distance from the train station, so if you arrive by transit, you will have quite a walk to pick up/drop off your keys. Appreciated a dedicated parking spot behind the unit, although it does require unlatching a gate when coming/going and navigating a tight drive, plus walking back around to the front of the unit and up a flight of dark winding stairs with any bags. The laundry in the unit is in a basement two floors below the unit, shared by multiple apartments. Of the 3 washers, 2 appeared to be working. Of 2 two dryers, 1 appeared to be working, but it dried poorly so we had to use the manual drying racks on the back porch. The apartment has good views of the mountains off the back porch, but the porch furniture was uncomfortable and had sad cushions. Bugs were not too much of a problem in the unit with windows open (no a/c, no screens), although some flies appeared to come in late in the week off of the unattended and quite full trash bins behind the unit. The unit can get hot during the day, but we found if you close it up, the cool from the night air stays in for quite awhile, and we bought a fan and left it for future guests since the owner and rental agency did not offer any fans for the unit. The rental agency only provided one towel and one hand towel per guest for a week which was sparse. The starter supply of toilet paper and paper towels was also sparse, but not unexpected for this type of rental. The kitchen was well appointed with everything needed to cook. The unit could use ice trays for the freezer. The living room is laid out awkwardly with only one seat that actually faces the television. The furniture is dated and relatively uncomfortable. The bedrooms are small, dark, and crowded with equally dated furniture and mattresses. The rental agency could do better with the bedding. The child's room with two twins came with two unwrapped comforters/blankets that previous guests slept under. Gross. The two bathrooms are acceptable. One has no windows/venting and gets hot. The bathtub with hand wand is not the easiest to use for washing. The shower in the other bath has a defective hand wand that points toward the wall, not the person in the shower. Overall, decent value for the money and location.
