6/10
The listing said "Studio Apartment," but it is really just a bedroom with a bath. A mini-fridge, coffeemaker and microwave oven do not make this a "Studio" in the sense that I understand that word (i.e., a one-room apartment with kitchen and bath). When I went back and looked at the photos in the listing, that should have been obvious to me, but I got hung up on the word "Studio."That said, it was a comfortable room, although the bathroom was stingy on towels (no face cloths, only one hand towel, two smallish bath towels), and the toilet was squeezed into a very tight spot.We had an issue with the TV not working properly and the host was accommodating to resolve the issue.We brought our dog and walked her in nearby Deering Oaks Park, which was a plus. Wifi was fine. Parking on the street is tight.One should definitely note that this neighborhood is "in transition." The corner near the property apparently is a gathering place for unhoused people and we were treated to the lunatic ravings of an obviously mentally ill man both mornings screaming at the top of his lungs -- for about *20* minutes on Sunday morning (luckily about the time we would have woken up anyway), with a 10 minute reprise performance on Monday morning -- shorter, but much earlier (about 5 am).It's a mixed bag. The price and the dog-friendly feature made it OK for us, but we probably won't be going back.
