Owner initially took days to answer us but closer to the stay date was extremely responsive and cooperative. The place is old but maintained well. However, we did not get the unit we rented. We were upgraded to the ground floor unit for logistics issues.
The owner forgot to turn the heat back on and the air conditioning was still in the window with the plastic insultation on the sides completly riped off. We were able to put our hands outside... Still the host was very helpful and had someone bring up a portable heater for the first few nights (but it stopped working within a few hours). We spent the first 3-4 nights freezing but the heat was turned back on on Monday. The AC unit issue was never fixed.
We had access to washer and dryer which worked well.
We kept our cats isolated in a room so as to not put cat hair everywhere. After our stay the host accused us of ruining the bed sheet (which we washed) because of the cat hair. We paid $4,000 to stay there. Anyway.
The host accused us of having parties with 12 people over every night. We're both in our 40s and stayed there because our condo was flooded. Every day we went to work and I don't even think I have 12 friends. We went to the upstairs guests and they said they were accused of the same thing. She eventually conceeded that it could be the neighboors complaining for nothing or about another building.
The parking is in the backyard but the entrance was blocked by ripped garbage bags in front of the door so I never ended up using it. However, parking in the street was easy (just read the signs carefully).
The place is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood but few restaurants close by. Try Umai Sushi though, best sushi!
The host accused us of stealing or throwing out towels after our stay was over. Needless to say we did none of those things.
Overall we were statisfied with our stay but would have wished the place was heated, the AC removed, more pots and cuttlery would have been useful, more towels as well, and the previous guests shampoos and soap (which had started mildew) were removed. Not being accused of things we didn't do would have been nice as well.
