WOW ★ Bright Apt ★ PRIME downtown Walk Everywhere

The property is not welcoming. It is barebones accommodation in in inhospitable location. It is only good at a stop on a way somewhere else.

I would like to give this apartment a higher rating, but the check-in instructions were incomplete, and I was unable to enter it for the first night of my stay. The host was unavailable to correct the problem. VRBO had to put me up a local hotel instead. Luckily something was available for the night within a few blocks of the apartment. It was inconvenient, but could have been much worse.The apartment itself was clean, comfortable and conveniently located. I enjoyed the remaining two nights of my stay once I received the correct instructions for entering into it.The lack of a dedicated parking space is a concern. I didn't have trouble finding on-street parking nearby, but it could be a problem.The location is a typical urban neighborhood. Not especially attractive (at least, not to me) but I didn't feel unsafe. It's a 15-minute walk to a supermarket, and most of the capitol buildings are also within that distance.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was wonderful to have our own space to escape to when my parents got to be too much. The space is nicely decorated. The rooms are spacious. The ceilings are high and there are plenty of windows for light. The bathroom is beautiful. We really enjoyed being able to walk everywhere. We ate at Cafe Capriccio. We visited the Corning Tower, the restaurants and bars on Lark Street, and the Spectrum Theater.We did have some issues with the Wifi. It was out for several hours twice during our stay. The main router is in another unit and both times we had to wait for the host to get in touch with the other unit tenant to reset it.We also had major issues with the lock on the unit door. The lock is super fiddly and the other tenants had to help us get in on a few occasions. I don’t believe we were given the coorect combo for the front door, but again one of the tenants said that she had stayed in our unit before and told us what it should be.It was a very convenient place for us to stay while caring for my parents.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Street parking was easy to find. We had some issues with cigarette smoke from the restaurant downstairs coming into the apartment the first night of our stay. We notified the host who was very accommodating. She investigated the issue for us and even offered us alternate accommodations if necessary. After the host spoke with the restaurant we had no further issues smoke. It was a well-appointed unit with a very convenient location.

Convenient location (a little scary), but no parking available. Street parking was hit or miss. The condo was small & couch was a bit uncomfortable. No oven and no extra blankets, towels, or pillows. Location was quiet considering there was a meadery & tasting room next door.
