• William from United States – 5 September 2024 (8/10)

  Location fine. I could not download the directions to get into the apartment. I had to call at least three times to the rental agency to get support, which worked. I think you need to put a tape on the inside of the door, telling how to lock the apartment when you are in the apartment (pull door handle up, etc).
  I am old, could have used some support rails near toilet and bathtub.
  Bed ok, bathroom and shower fine. kitchen could use printed directions for oven and microwave.
  
  What could be improved: Impossible to make television work. I don’t believe there are ever userfriendly directions for tv wands. Will you be the exception?
  When the toilet water backed up up (there was nothing that I did to cause the stoppage), I called the agency, and they said they would get a plumber, which, after a time they did. Fortunately the friendly plumber could get into the apartment without my having to be there (that would have been a real problem). He said he thought the toilet needs replacing. I would prefer a higher toilet (for older people) with elongated shape (for men).
  Otherwise, fine. The key issues fell into place with the help of the agency people. I would have been lost without them. I only knew their number by the initial booking contract. The owner’s telephone memory was filled with no chance to connect for help.
  I got used to the apartment and eventually found it convenient and charming. Thanks for the good directions for the washer.
  How do you want renters to leave the key and the gate lock apparati?
  
  Good hot water.
  
  The difficulties I had are pretty much minor, and correctable.

  The house is nicely decorated. It felt like home. The welcome treats are very nice.

• Patrick from United States – 2 June 2022 (8/10)

  The location was excellent, and the apartment was very nice. Everything was in great shape.
  
  What could be improved: Cost was a bit higher than I’d like, but based on the location, and the fact there’s basically no hotels in that area, it was fine, and great for a last minute booking.

• Eric from United States – 26 November 2024 (3/10)

  The location is fantastic.
  
  What could be improved: The location is fantastic, but unfortunately, my experience was marred by unhelpful staff who seemed unwilling to assist. The apartment lacked proper heating; they mentioned that warmth would come up through the floor, but it was consistently freezing and never truly warmed up. While there was a nice washer, the absence of a dryer was inconvenient. Additionally, parking is a major issue—be prepared to park several blocks away and walk. Overall, this was my worst experience with either an apartment or hotel. I can only give it half stars out of 4 stars.

• Dube from Canada – 10 May 2024 (5/10)

  Great location. Near Volunteer park. Beautiful suburb. Nice and quiet.
  
  What could be improved: Apartment had a musky smell, it was really cold and there was an issue with the heating.
