Avis Charming Sandstone-Basement Apartment in West End

Check in was 4:00 couldn’t get in till 4:30. Didn’t get code until that time. Otherwise, lovely apartment and great location

My daughter and I stayed at this flat for 10 days while we were moving our daughter into university! This is a great location, easy to walk just about anywhere. Gillian was very responsive to our questions during our stay. Would stay here again!

Very comfortable accommodations for two couples. Lots of space to allow the early risers to do their thing without waking others. All amenities such as smart TV, wifi and laundry all worked well. Location was amazing. Wander off in any direction and find ample history, shops and restaurants. Best to note that there are exterior stairs to access the front door and even longer interior stairs to access the second bathroom, kitchen, dining room and laundry.

Lots of room in an a convenient location, but needs work. The steps leading down to it needed to be weeded/cleaned, the freestanding wardrobe in the larger bedroom still had folded up cardboard shims between it and the carpet it was sitting on, and first step down into the sub-basement where the kitchen/dining and other bathroom are is extremely dangerous. All of us stumbled/missed it, and one got bruised by tumbling into the blunt end of the railing, which is five feet down the wall. Continuing the handrail up to the top would definitely help. The paint was just thrown on top of the previous, with a bedroom door, walls, and trim all the same color. Casual inspection showed the previous paint underneath. The kitchen door could not be unlocked, despite everyone's efforts, and the blinds in a bedroom could not be raised on one side, despite almost hanging from the drawcord. Windows were painted shut, the WiFi was terrible, and the lower bathroom heater never turned on. Gillian, the host, was responsive, but unfortunately wasn't able to get workers out to fix the lack of heat, water heater (which we fixed via Youtube), or stuck blinds.

A very comfortable, quiet space with plenty of room for relaxing after adventuring through the city. Easy communication with Gillian. I would absolutely stay here again!
