Overall we enjoyed our stay here. However several unexpected issues arose. I did speak to the rental management agency and he did quickly help with a couple issues (step ladder, as cupboards are for taller people than I am; and oil for the squeaky doors), and said he would notify the owner about others. We did meet the owner - friendly guy. So, instead of a lower rating, I am rating 4 stars, on the assumption that some/many of the issues will be corrected. -the unit is on the 2nd floor, above a garage (stairs). While we could negotiate this, someone else might not and this needs to be noted in the accessibility description-bedroom was small, with no bedside table or lamp on 1 side. This might be corrected by 2 smaller tables. I had to walks sideways to get into bed.-no closet in the bedroom. Need a place to put suitcases while using them, such as a foldable stand. Small area in pantry available with hangers. Dresser available.-some linens soiled or showing age; toss them or use for cleaning, as other linens (not those hanging in the bathroom for us) were OK.-bathroom has 1 small towel rack. There's room for another, as we had 2 people using bathroom towels.-some rugs and some living room covers were approaching threadbare.-some living room furniture shown in the listing was not in the apartment, making comfortable sitting more difficult.The view is lovely, especially the fall colors.
