I definitely have mixed feelings about Joey's place. First, let's get all the pros out of the way before talking about the cons:
- Joey is very friendly and accommodating - he helped me solve some issues we encountered during our stay. He is also quite responsive.
- The unit is very clean and modern, fully equipped with TV, working desk, comfy bed, and in-unit washer/dryer. There is also a Nespresso machine with pods which we used everyday to make coffee.
- We came in November so it was cold - however, heating in the unit worked great!.
Now, let's talk about the cons:
- Getting the key is a nightmare when you drive a car. We had to find a street parking near the 7-11 where the key was picked up. And since it is located downtown with many constructions nearby, we had to park 4,5 blocks away and walked over to get the key.
- Parking garage is extremely difficult to find and use. There are 2-3 other parking garages in the same building block, and we entered each of them until we found the correct garage as there is no instruction on how to find it. Every time we enter the wrong garage, we have to drive our car around downtown since it is a one-way street, which costs us about 10 minutes each time. Even after finding the correct garage, we do not know how to open the gate... It turned out that we have to press the buttons on the key, but the key has so many buttons and it was very confusing. The garage itself has 3 doors to be opened, each can be opened by a separate button. Overall, all this can be fixed with some clear instructions from Joey in advance.
- The bathroom is very small, so small that I have to step inside the bathtub to have enough space to close the door. Also the given bath mat is too thick or the door gap is too thin and it blocks the door from closing.
- At the end of our stay, we had to take the trash all the way from the 10th floor to the first floor - which is extremely inconvenient.
- The building is gated - however we notice that many homeless people frequently got in and just stay in the lobby, especially at night.
