The good:
The views were incredible. If that’s what you care about, then definitely book this place.
Mori was super communicative and easy to work with. They responded quickly to all questions and provided helpful videos and walkthroughs of how to get into the place since it can be kind of confusing.
The large bathtub in the main bathroom was very nice. The bed in the closet was very comfortable.
The bad:
The cleaning of this apartment seemed to be what I would call organizational cleaning. i.e. everything looked ok when you walked around, everything in its place, fresh towels, garbages empty. But it seemed like deep cleaning hadn’t happened in weeks. For even non Covid times this type of cleaning isn’t ok. Specific example, our feet were black after just being there for a few hours. Which is funny because there is a sign at the front that says please take your shoes off. My one year old daughters hands and knees were black from crawling on the ground.
The beds were fine, but there were no top sheets, just the fitted sheet and the comforter. This stressed me out because I doubted the comforter had been washed.
The dishes available were inadequate. They reminded me of being in college because they were all random pieces of dishes. There was only one wine glass.
The bathroom walls looked like they were under construction.
This place should really be advertised as a 2 bedroom. The third bedroom was a closet with a curtain over it.
The fan in the primary bedroom was broken so we had to leave our window open and could hear people partying until 3am.
We saw someone shooting up right across on the street when we went to get our morning coffee. Nothing the owner can do about this… but thought it should be mentioned. Location wise it’s really close to Hastings which I now know is not the safest of places.
Overall:
If I was in college or my early twenties and needed a cheaper place to stay and didn’t care about the details this place would be fine. It actually reminded me of my friends apartments in college. But I’m in my thirties now and have a family and expect a better level of cleanliness from rentals. Thankfully it was only one night.
