Spacious and Modern in the Center of Waterloo
Excellent location. Nice to have a spacious, nicely decorated and very modern space with full kitchen. The one downside keeping this from a 5* review was the parking. The garage is a pain to drive in with an SUV and when I booked, all the spots reserved for the Laundry Rooms were full, so I had to drive around and around with staff on the phone directing me to other "secret" spots also owned by the property. Also, check in and key access via phone had me anxious about keeping my phone charged but that could just be my Gen X side talking.

Our stay was just OK ... lights would not dim; it was like a runway in the living room. The bathroom was tiny. The bedroom was also very average. Our card key would not work in the front door late at night, so we had to go to the back of the building and get in through the parking garage. We would not stay at this property again.

Great poshy place
We had a great experience. The host was very helpful during my stressful moment trying to get into the building. I didn’t know a key app was needed prior to but super quick and easy once I figured it out :). The apartment is well equipped, very clean, comfy bed, huge bathroom. Parking was easy to find also. Great location

Disliked: Amenities
The fridge has an error code and has been beeping since I arrived. Before bed I realized that the beeping was coming from the fridge. No was to stop it. It kept me up all night. When I arrived the check in digital key didn't open any doors. Had to contact via text and ask for help. Was given physical key cards. There was an angry, screaming woman in the elevator when I arrived which made me feel unsafe. The unit had been cleaned but there were hairs on the throw pillows and in the shower and on the bathroom floor. This was really gross, to say the least. I'm not impressed with my stay at all and will not stay here again.
