Summary: I know the location very well as we lived in a nearby neighborhood for over 25 years. I love the neighborhood. The home was very clean. However, the listing needs to include the proximity of the 20 story new construction building, called The Langley. It is not a block away as stated in one of the reviews. It is directly behind the property. I would not have booked this reservation had I known the actual location. Exterior door latches don’t catch easily so you need to give it an extra push and visually confirm closure. Owner has a note advising hot water tank needs to be left on for a while to warm up. It never warmed up enough for a shower. Especially a problem during the recent icy weather Owner was very responsive until I tried to reach her to let her know i was leaving after the first night of a four night reservation on Tuesday. Still have yet to hear a word.
