Sleepless, but not in Seattle
The amenities were as listed and adequate as expected, the property was clean and tidy, even decorated for the Christmas holiday! I found it odd that although these added touches were provided only one garbage bag and one roll of toilet tissue were left for a monthly rental. Also, the refrigerator filter needed to be changed which was supposed to happen the first few days of my stay and hadn’t been when I left. No water nor ice so we added plenty to the plastic recycling for bottled water. You’ll also see in other reviews various comments about the noise, take them seriously. The walls are extremely thin and you literally hear everything. It is located on a rather busy street with several businesses surrounding the unit AND literally within one block from a main road. You’ll hear cars trying to race, traffic galore, airplanes right overhead, other guests talking in the driveway and employees during breaks all from inside. Not to mention the restaurant across the street must have had a private party as music could literally be heard word for word in the back of the unit; grateful for the 10 pm local noise ordinance.
What I was not expecting from the listing was this is a duplex, there is another rental with a shared wall (which happens to be the bedroom and bathroom wall in this unit) with a wooden entry gate literally feet from the bedroom window. From all the noises that awoke us during the night I’d expect their side of that wall to be the kitchen area. You heard plates on countertops, drawers opening and closing, the microwave and even knocking on their door at 4 in the morning. Understandably the owner can’t guarantee courteous guests and it could just be my luck, but if I wanted to take that risk I’d have chosen a true condo. There is also a third rental on the property that is completely separate, that wooden entry gate was within feet of the bathroom window. It was rather startling the first time I heard that one, but once identified that unit was really no bother.
Parking and foot traffic with all the store fronts plus these three units is quite challenging so plan for that too.
Although I’ve stayed in this area several times due to a couple activities I enjoy daily during my stays, I somewhat expect some of the inconveniences listed, the shared wall will most likely prevent me from renting this unit again though.
