First of all, I want to say that Victoria's communication from beginning to end was great. She was friendly, replied quickly, and her instructions for everything were very clear. I appreciated all of that from her.
That said, however, the apartment was beyond disappointing. It was not evident in her description that the construction outside of every window in the apartment was as obtrusive as it was. There was no privacy if the blinds were open, the windows could not be opened because of the dust, there was zero light or view of anything, and the noise was unacceptable, both from the construction and bar downstairs. This is something she clearly knew as she left earplugs next to the bed. There was a horrible smell near the bathroom which could not be rectified if the windows could not be opened.
Additionally, I was surprised that no cleaning supplies were left for me to use, nor a clean bar of soap in the bathroom or ice in the freezer. There were also multiple lightbulbs burnt out in the living room chandelier, and the towels in the bathroom were very low quality and scratchy.
Last, the entrance of the building was shockingly dirty and difficult to both enter and climb stairs with luggage. It was also confusing that I needed to walk through tables and people at the bar downstairs in order to enter the building.
Overall, I have no choice but to give this rental a low review. I hope that the next guest will have a better experience than I did.
