Good place for a short stay
We had a great stay — the apartment was clean, spacious, and in a peaceful, walkable neighborhood with plenty of restaurants nearby. There’s even a playground right across the street, and it was super convenient to the science museum, which we were visiting.A few things to be aware of:Parking is on the street -- would be nice to know that when booking. It worked out fine, but took some maneuvering and a bit of time to find a spot.The check-in process included several verification steps. We were asked to submit a photo ID (front and back), a selfie, and the names and ages of everyone in our party. This was more than we've typically experienced when booking vacation rentals. We were also asked to notify them an hour before we arrive so they could prepare the unit -- I pushed back on the request and asked them to have the place ready by the agreed check-in time, which they did.Communication happened across both the VRBO app and text, and it wasn’t always in sync, which added some friction. That said, the place was spotless and ready when we arrived, so ultimately it all worked out.The building itself is older and full of character, which we liked. The floors are quite squeaky (earplugs were kindly provided). Overall, a comfortable place in a great location.
