About this apartment rental
The apartment (aptly named Whistling Trains) is one-half mile from Sykesville's Main Street - the 2016 Coolest Small Town in America. There are lots of events in town, many walking paths through the community, a train that runs along the Patapsco River and through brick tunnels built in the 1800's. The town has
a lot of history and you are less than an hour to Gettysburg, Antietam, Harpers Ferry, Baltimore, Annapolis and Frederick. Washington DC is about 45 miles away.
The space
There is a Flat screen TV giving access to Cable only TV which includes Netflex and many other channels. There are also some board games, books and puzzles for your enjoyment.
The kitchen is intended to meet your cooking and dining needs. There is a Keurig coffee maker with K cups. You will find tea bags, sugar and a variety of sweeteners.
The HVAC system was replaced in 2016 and the new system has an air scrubber.
There is a Graco Pack N Play and a Fisher Price Space Saver highchair to accommodate our younger guest.
Guest access
Guests have full use of the apartment, covered porch, and designated off street parking. They may enjoy the front yard as well.
Guest must be able to step over a 3-4" threshold to enter the apartment. Also, the doors from the bedrooms to the bathrooms are a bit smaller than standard measuring 22".
Other things to note

This property was awesome. Very clean, comfortable, with all the amenities one would need. Parking was easy and accessible. The neighborhood was very quiet and safe. The location was very amenable to visiting Gettysburg, Frederick, and other Baltimore/DC attractions will definitely stay here again when in the area.

This was ideal for our needs (visiting relatives in the area). Check-in and check-out was easy, communication with co-hosts effortless. Some of the photos in the listing appear to have been taken a while ago, as, for example, the linens on beds and bedroom furniture (other than beds) is slightly different now (not a big deal at all, just letting you know) and the trains out front are not as bright and shiny as pictured. Clean. Bathroom appears to be relatively new, great shower-head and water pressure is good. Notebook is available with information regarding appliances, etc., very thorough. Be aware that people (co-host) do live upstairs and can occasionally be heard (e.g., flushing toilet, some footsteps). We were not there much during the day, basically just slept and cooked breakfast there (kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, etc., coffee machine, microwave, refrigerator was spotless). There is a dog living upstairs FYI. We did not hear any barking except when we first arrived (dog was inside and not visible or threatening in any way). The co-host did cut the grass Saturday morning but did wait until 8:45am.

Communication before we got there was good. When we arrived the code to the door would not work luckily the owner's son was there he literally had to redo the codes and he couldn't figure it out at first took a while to get in and he never said sorry about the door lock not working or anything it was like we bothered him. Entranceway was very dirty with leaves and grass cuttings thought it would be a little bit cleaner when you walk up to the front door . The carpet also was dirty didn't look like anybody had vacuumed I have pictures but don't know how to post. last thing is be careful when you walk out the front door there's a 2-in lip that is at the threshold of the door that you could trip on my wife did. The pictures are old the train out front is nothing like in the picture.
