The place was nicely appointed but very dirty and mouldy upon my arrival. The bathroom in particular was very much in need of maintenance. The sink was clogged on my arrival and the baseboard on the wall behind the toilet needed to be replaced because it was rotten with black mould. The caulking around the sink was also covered in mould and needed to be replaced. The ceiling in the bathroom had recently been patched but not painted. There was a large part that needed to be painted. After I requested that it be painted, it was. The tile and grout on the floor were black and no amount of scrubbing could get it clean. Eventually, the grout was covered with fresh silicone to make the floor cleaner. The baseboard behind the toilet was replaced on day 6 of my stay. I asked for a partial refund given that the bathroom was so smelly and having maintenance people in and out interfered with my work. The same request was denied. The baseboards throughout the apartment were very dirty. The floor had not been vacuumed or mopped before I arrived. The kitchen had grease all over the cupboards and walls. The kitchen chairs, which were fabric, were filthy and needed to be shampooed. This was only done once I brought the dirtiness to Ishtar's attention, who admitted that they should not have gone out in that condition. I did a lot of the cleaning myself. Admittedly, Ishtar and Jasper were responsive to requests to make the place cleaner and more comfortable, however, the state of the place the first week was very disappointing. Once it was clean, however, I very much enjoyed my stay. I asked for cleaning supplies and was provided with them very quickly. Additionally, I found the decor very pleasing. The building was quiet and safe. The apartment was large. The bed was a king, not a queen as described, which was a pleasant surprise. A disappointment was that there was supposed to be a den and dedicated workspace, according to the description, however, neither was available. I would recommend bringing extension cords and power bars since the outlets in this place were in strange and inconvenient locations. When I requested an extension cord I was told that this would not be provided. There were no outlets in the entrance or bathroom at all. This made vacuuming very difficult. The listing also mentioned weekly maid services. These are at an additional cost and not readily available.
