The grounds were well maintained for an older property.
The apartment was really cute, nicely decorated. It was very clean, which is extremely important to me. I was pleasantly surprised
Check-in required entering a code on a keypad lock on the door. There are two numbers per button, which made it confusing when entering the code. Be mindful. If the code contained two numbers that existed on the same keypad button you had to press that button twice. For example, if the code is 1234 and 1 and 2 were on the same keypad button, you press the button with 1 an 2 on it twice.
The fixtures were a bit rusted and the water pressure was unsatisfactory.
The front door is not a solid door, but was half glass and the lock didn't seem secure, which made me feel unsafe. I ended up pushing furniture up against the front door for added security. The bathroom window didn't seem to close completely, but since the apartment was on the second floor, it was okay.
The one review I read prior to my stay mentioned a friendly ghost. I disregarded that part of the review, but did feel a presence in the room at night when nodding off to sleep. It felt as though someone was gently shaking me awake. I experienced this several times the first night, which resulted in not getting very much sleep. The second night, I slept with all the lights on and was able to sleep a bit without too much disturbance.
Overall, the stay was okay. It was my first VRBO experience.
