This review is based on our stay in this property for 17 days for a family of four.
Be aware of ants!! When we first checked in, there were ant piles at the sliding door that wasn’t attended prior to our arrival. There were ants moving along the kitchen counter and along the baseboard in the kitchen and living room area. Lots of ants in the area rug in the living room that I later asked to be removed. The property management company sent someone to come and do some ant spray along the wall on the second day so it was fine for two days but then we started finding ants in the coffee pot, in bathroom, in the closets, medicine cabinets and in beds. Just laying in bed for 10 min at the end of the night, we would see ants moving onto us. After staying for 3 days, we all got bitten by ants. We asked for a more aggressive way to deal with the issue with ant baits or some other kind. We had to leave the apartment for 5 hours on a super hot day so a specialist the property company arranged would go in and intervene. But it didn’t look like someone went in at all. On that same day I asked to please remove the area rug because a lot of ants were moving along and on it. We also asked for all the bedding to be changed. Changing the sheets helped but two days before we were leaving we started seeing ants in the beds again. We don’t consume any food or beverage in the bedrooms so we weren’t sure why the ants kept on coming. The property company provided a refund partially for the day that we had to leave the property for a good chunk of the day when for the ant specialist and cleaning lady, which is a nice gesture.
Overall we would have enjoyed the place more had there not been ant issues. we were there on super hot summer days so AC helped. I wish there are blinds in the living room to block the sunlight because the sun comes out from the sliding door side and it’s hot in the early morning already since we couldn’t block the sun and we had to blast the ACs.
The other issue is the wooden floor is not the same as what’s shown in the picture. My small children would be barefoot, and they would get splinters everyday. I had to pull the splinters out and demanded the kids to put socks on while playing in the living room area.
there are three constructions that didn’t allow us to enjoy the balcony. The noise some days were really loud and some days were ok. However, the construction brings a lot of dust inside the unit.
The kitchen utensils weren’t cleaned when we arrived. We found spoons filled with oatmeals in the drawer. We decided to run the dishwasher and wash all the utensils and dishes again on our own. There weren’t enough toilet papers, kitchen towels, laundry and dish detergents for our stay. Considering the unit is on the pricier side in the part of the town, I would expect more essential supplies for our stay.
Be mindful of the bed in the master suite. The bed frame that holds the mattress was broken in many pieces so part of the bed felt sunken in.
Overall, the location is great like all other reviews. AC was super useful for hot summer days. The unit would be a good for a quick stay.
