Quiet Apartment in Coolest Small Town in America!

The apartment (aptly named Whistling Trains) is one-half mile from Sykesville's Main Street - the 2016 Coolest Small Town in America. There are lots of events in town, many walking paths through the community, a train that runs along the Patapsco River and through brick tunnels built in the 1800's. The town has
a lot of history and you are less than an hour to Gettysburg, Antietam, Harpers Ferry, Baltimore, Annapolis and Frederick. Washington DC is about 45 miles away.

The space

There is a Flat screen TV giving access to Cable only TV which includes Netflex and many other channels. There are also some board games, books and puzzles for your enjoyment.

The kitchen is intended to meet your cooking and dining needs. There is a Keurig coffee maker with K cups. You will find tea bags, sugar and a variety of sweeteners.

The HVAC system was replaced in 2016 and the new system has an air scrubber.

There is a Graco Pack N Play and a Fisher Price Space Saver highchair to accommodate our younger guest.

Guests have full use of the apartment, covered porch, and designated off street parking. They may enjoy the front yard as well.

Great Location and Nicely Done
Very nice apartment and great location. Apartment is well appointed for a long or short stay, with everything needed for comfort, including a small desk for working (this was a "working" trip). With family in the area, we will be back and this is a perfect spot for a getaway. Very clean and quiet.

Meh
We arrived in the evening and the property was not very well-lit. I wondered aloud which of the two doors was our entrance. A voice from a speaker answered our question, which was a little creepy. They were watching us. If you are watching us, why not open the door and say hello? The property is nothing to write home about. It is decent, but dated and absolutely nothing special. The bathroom floor was filthy and the shower wasn't clean. The furnishings were pretty old and uncomfortable. The beds were fine. Plenty of towels and linens. The neighborhood felt safe and friendly. The bedrooms from the inside appear underground, with the sole windows high up on the wall. One window is covered by a deck. This was not mentioned in the posting. This poses a safety hazard in a case of a fire or intruder. Additionally, there is no natural light, leaving us, literally, in the dark. It was fine, but not worth the price. We won't be returning.

We are so thankful we found this adorable apartment. Our company needed a place nearby with no stairs. They loved the porch and the privacy it allowed. Owners were very accommodating.
