Property manager insisted on sending a maintenance team during our stay. We asked them not to, but were told the maintenance team would be in the building anyway, and we didn’t have a choice. They would not disclose what they were there to maintain. They changed a lightbulb, but no critical maintenance items were necessary as far as I could tell.
Also, there was a horrible smell coming up through the shower drain. It filled the apartment prior to our arrival which was very disappointing. Because it is a ground floor unit, the lower windows wouldn’t fully open onto the street, but we also couldn’t open the upper windows because they had installed shades against the only windows that would fully open.
If it weren’t for the smell and the property manager’s insistence on having a couple of strangers in our unit when we weren’t there- for no clear reason- we would’ve given five stars. Also be aware- if you need to communicate with the host outside of their limited business hours- you won’t get a response.
