In addition to the reports of BED BUGS, this place is complete false advertising. Be aware that not only is the host nine months pregnant, but she and her live in boyfriend already have a child, which means there are baby clothes and baby bottles and baby items all over the apartment. They didn’t bother to tidy up anything when we arrived and the place looked like a total mess. On top of that they have an additional roommate that they do not mention anywhere in the advertisement who lives there as well and shares all of those same amenities. The family room is not a place where you will be able to hang out and relax as it is indeed a FAMILY room with them and their baby and roommate. You would feel super uncomfortable hanging out in there. The hole in the wall bedroom itself is extremely small and smells very moldy as if wet towels have been laying in there for weeks. The bed is listed as a double but would barely fit two grown adults. Might be OK for a couple to be squished but is not ideal for any other travelers. Another little detail they failed to mention on their advertisement is that you will not only have a super tiny room but you will be sharing the amenities of bathroom and shower with the two hosts, their roommate, their son, and any other rental guests that they have during your stay… They didn’t mention to us the other rental guests at any point during our booking process. They also didn’t mention their child or the additional roommate, which obviously would have deterred us from booking. Despite leaving in the middle of the night because of the complete disappointment and frustration with how different the place is in person than it was listed to be, the host refused to refund us. Yes that’s right, we cancelled the reservation and we didn’t stay ANY nights at this place, and had to buy new accommodations in the middle of the night and for the remainder of our vacation and yet the host refused to refund us any of our money.
We tried to get in touch with them that evening, but they did not respond to messages and did not respond to us knocking on the door… It was only when their roommate came out and told us that we shouldn’t knock on the door because the host was pregnant and the other room belong to her baby that we realized we had been completely duped. Don’t waste your time on this rental and definitely don’t waste your money! There are plenty of wonderful little hotels all around this area that are more conveniently located, nearby, and give you far more value for your money then this hole in the wall.
The hosts boyfriend was very pleasant when we first arrived and the host had moments of pleasantness via messages, but I should have trusted my gut when she got snarky over messages in the very beginning. I thought the place was cute and worth it, but god was I wrong. Total Nightmare that I hope no one else gets tricked into experiencing!
