I chose this place for its location near Mingus Park and the fact that it looked quiet. It was one of the best appointed rentals I’ve stayed at—every little thing I needed and went looking for could be found (except a pen or pencil). It smelled better than many coast motels or rentals—you know the smell I mean. It was a little bit hard to find and I arrived in drizzle, so I was a bit grumpy about that. It would be nice to have a number on or by the door. The bed was very comfortable and a variety of pillows available. The bathroom was gorgeously remodeled, though the exhaust fan sounded like it was about to fall out of the wall. The couch was comfy enough. Everything worked except I couldn’t get the fake fireplace to make heat even with the proper buttons on. It was warm enough with just the baseboard on in the morning.
I am a teensy bit neurospicy, so for anyone else with exceptional sensory needs: For anyone who is sensitive to noise, the refrigerator makes a lot of noise/vibration and runs frequently. I turned the thermostat up and that lengthened the cycle, but still expect noisy motor sound to fill the front room once an hour. Other than that, it was a very quiet location, minimal traffic noise, periodic neighborhood dog serenades. The smells were all tolerable, although it took me a while to accept the “other people’s head smell” on the couch. For those who tastes too much detail, the water in the bathroom tastes metallic but the kitchen is fine.
