6/10 (2 reviews)

Pros: Great Heating system with a decently stocked Kitchen. Plenty of space with two full size bedrooms. Beds and pillows were comfortable. And the TV was signed into streaming apps complimentary of the host which is a rare find these days (usually the renter has to utilize their own streaming accounts for login). Cons: the apartment unit smelled like cigarettes. There weren’t a lot of extra household ‘supplies’ provided either (paper towels, tissue paper, extra toilet paper, extra trash bags). The ice machine in the refrigerator was also not operational.

8.8/10 Excellent! (3 reviews)

A relatively well-located property. The only real issue is the access, you have to use stairs, and if you can’t carry your luggage, you’re basically doomed. It has all the basic essentials, a bit outdated, but it worked fine for what I needed.
