Big, clean bit kitchen not well stocked
The location is not great or charming at all. It’s above an old closed convenience store. Neighbors out back are a bit rough and there is nothing charming about the immediate area. The kitchen was frustrating to try to cook in because there were basics missing like a can opener, baking pans, etc. the real zinger was there was a dishwasher but no detergent to run it with! Pots looked super cheap. We brought a lot of food to cook/eat in and it was more than challenging.

Communication break down
Overall the aprtmnt was clean tidy and well decorated. The fridge had broken shelves in the door but was still usable. The floors were constantly cold because there were no tenants in the store below to run heat..The front entrance was tiny and cramped with an open exposed electrical panel that I had to use for the heater in this area. Didn't see. Very safe. Very disappointed in the lack of personal phone response from several requests. The only form of communication was through email which is tedious and time consuming. No snow removal from front doorway. Had to clear it myself,not a big deal but if I was elderly then could be an issue. Was not notified about previous fire that disallowed use of outside veranda. Also limited the apartment to one fire exit downstairs where the electrical panels were.
