Not what we expected
The check in was easy, the communication with the owners was timely and consistent which i appreciate. But I stayed here with my husband and a friend under the impression it was a 1.5 bath as listed, which it is not, my friend had to walk through our room at night to use the bathroom. The ez blowup bed was not easy at all and would not extend so my friend had to bring her own. The pillows were worn and thin and the spare comforter had mystery stains all over it so we couldn’t use it. The AC unit is in the bedroom so it’s loud and makes random high pitch noise which was difficult to sleep through. The location is great cause it’s close to everything but wouldn’t stay again. Its definitely a college apt due to the wear and tear. I appreciate the friendliness and convenience but just wouldn’t again.
We thought everything was quite fine. The bottle of wine was a nice surprise, and we thought the bed was exceptionally comfortable!All in all, a very satisfactory experience!Also, we found David easy to communicate with!
