For the price, this was a pretty good place, but there are some âodditiesâ, one might say. If you are over 5â8â, odds are you are going to hit your head on the low crossbeam bisecting the apartment. If there was a closet for hanging clothes, I didnât find it. And the TV/WiFi situation is less than ideal, to say the leastâif you need stable internet for work or streaming, this may not be the best fit until some updates are made.And it does get pretty cold down there; the (very cool) electric fireplace warmed up the room considerably, but I didnât feel comfortable leaving it on all night, so relying just on the heater meant I woke up to an internal temp of 64. It was like 35 outside, so it could have been worse!
The shower has no curtain/door, so depending on who youâre staying with, that could be a concern. There was a rag tied around the shower fixture seemingly with the intent of stopping a leak, but water was still pouring out pretty steadily (but only while the shower is running).
Oh, and the entrance (back of the property down some very uneven steps) is completely unlit, so if youâre getting in at night, bring a flashlight! Despite all this stuff, Iâd say it was a fair value for me, but I do have a nice lump on my head ;)
