First the good- the location truly is fantastic and the shower is hot with great water pressure.
The bad- the walls are so thin I was worried about my neighbor’s persistent cough. The shower doesn’t have a a curtain anymore as has been previously mentioned, but an enclosure. The enclosure gives you a clearance of about nine inches to get into the shower while negotiating the corner of the counter which at the center of the opening. There is a window into the attached parking garage that was wide open. Not uncovered but physically open. When I asked I was told that it should be open. It was so high on the wall I couldn’t have closed it anyway, but I used a broom handle to at least push it together even though it didn’t latch. Also as mentioned it does get a little chilly at night. A light coverlet is on the bed, but an actual blanket would be nice. Finally, for an 11 night reservation I was provided with one towel, one floor mat and two rolls of toilet paper.
Finally, the ugly- the ceiling started falling down on day two. There are multiple reviews that mention a musty smell, which absolutely exists. The cause may be the extensive visible and previously hidden water damage. Portions on the wall were covered in styrofoam, like what you’d see a cooler made from, and the ceiling had plastic tiles glued up. Around the tiles and styrofoam were extensive and very evident yellow/brown water stains. About half the ceiling fell in the first couple days, taking musty water with it. The host came in without speaking to me to clean it up, which while I appreciate it, as a woman traveling alone I’d rather speak first. Two days before I left two more tiles over the bed came down exposing black mold, possibly explaining the cough that made me get a Covid test. When I messaged, the host showed up at the door. The host implied it was a new situation but the color of the stains and previous musty reviews make me doubt it. In the US we would call this a slumlord.
I asked for a refund of half of what I paid, because I did stay since what was I going to do. Until the mold it was just aesthetically bad, smelly (based on reviews I was prepared with a candle) and a little gross, but mold can be legitimately dangerous.
They offered me half of their net, about a $100 less then I asked for. Based simply on the principle I declined and reiterated that half of what I paid seemed fair, especially since I would already loose some of it in the conversation. The host stopped responding. The location is great, but I really wish I spent the extra $15/day and stayed elsewhere.
