“We felt so welcome”

Excellent communication from the rental staff - very clear and easy check in and check out information. Very accommodating and flexible with the Checkout time - We had an event that was later in the day, and was able to get a later check out.thanks!

Boiling Hot to Totally Freezing

The location and neighborhood were picturesque. Ample street parking. Check in was easy, and the instructions were detailed. Light bulbs in the entry way were completely out, however so dangerous at night as it is pitch black in the entry way and there are stairs! We used the flashlights on our phones to navigate at night. When we first arrived, the inside of the rental was absolutely BOILING. I reached out to the owner and he turned the air conditioning on, which resulted later in us freezing the remainder of the weekend, but we didn't want to keep bothering the owner to adjust the temperature. The shower was very finicky to get the temperature correct, and additionally periodically in the middle of your shower, you'd get shot with either super boiling or super cold water. No blow dryer. But air fryer was nice for reheating food. Overall, an okay stay, but I think I'm going back to hotels stays from now on.

Enjoyed our stay. Very clean and organized. The hosts were very helpful when needed but otherwise left us to enjoy our stay. The laundry facilities were an excellent addition to our typical travelling experience. The hosts responded quickly to our needs and were very friendly. Very convenient location to everything we wanted to see (museums, downtown, etc). We felt very safe in the area, friendly people all around! A great experience for our first vrbo. The garage also made parking a breeze. Thank you!

Clean apartment, plenty of street parking with on-site parking available if needed, nice neighborhood with plenty of places close by. Super easy to get in touch with Host, answered any question that I had. Check-in and Checkout process was super easy as well and not overly complicated. I would definitely come back again!

Uber clean garden level apartment with comfortable beds and seating. Tons of hot water and I appreciated the mini kitchen comprised of coffee maker, fridge and ice maker and the full size laundry. The exterior of the home is gorgeous and so are the other brown and greystones on the block. Took Uber everywhere and felt safe entering the iron locked gate and main door to unit. Would love to return in the summer time.

The apartment was very nice. Spacious, clean, and the neighborhood felt safe. Getting in the gate and apartment was easy. In terms of amenities, I would have liked to have had ceramic plates and cups. Only paper plates, bowls, and plastic silverware were supplied. I was disappointed with the correspondence with the 3rd party Evolve person. He didn’t communicate with me until 20 minutes before we checked in. I had emailed him 24 hours before our trip but hadn’t heard back. I texted him in late morning of our arrival but I didn’t hear back. I then called him about an hour of our arrival, still hoping to check in early at 3pm instead of 4pm. He finally texted me at 3:40 or so to tell me early arrival was not possible. That is ok, but I might have liked to have known that beforehand. We also had an issue with the air, which we did not have any control over. We got home in the evening, and the apartment was super cold. I have never stayed where I didn’t have control over the air or heat. I texted the Evolve person that evening but he did not respond until morning. Overall we liked the place we stayed, but I will think twice about booking a place with a third party for the contact.
