The property is spacious and perfectly located. Nice size bedrooms, big open kitchen/living area and clean updated bathroom. Nice big bay windows on both floors. Parking included is a nice bonus.
If you're sensitive to odor, you may not like it. It's not pervasive throughout the unit but when you first walk in, there is a cigarette smell combined with harsh cleaner and glade plug-in that assaults your senses. We brought an air purifier and natural scented candles that didn't make a difference. Previous guests mentioned it so I asked before booking and host said they got the smell out but this is a long-term, baked in cigarette smell that's not going anywhere. There's also a urine smell when you enter the building from the street. That's just city life.
The other thing to know is that the windows are not at all sound proof. On a slow Sunday night, I heard every movement, conversation, commotion 3 levels down on the street. It was cacophonous.
I really appreciated how clean the bathroom was and the fresh clean towels and bedding. However, the kitchen counters, night stands, etc. weren't as clean. Looked like someone was in a rush and missed a few spots or didn't wipe down at all in other areas. I had some cleaner and wiped things down myself and then it was fine.
The host was awesome in terms of responsiveness to my questions. If you're not sensitive to smells and pack your ear plugs, this place is a great deal.
