I do not recommend. I hesitate to write this review as it is my first negative review, but I want others to be able to make an informed decision. I wish I had seen an honest review which could have prevented me such distress during my stay.
My family and I originally booked for approximately 6 weeks while we are waiting to move into our new home, but a week after realizing the apartment was not working out, I requested an earlier check out and was able to leave after a total of 2 weeks.
Internet:
Internet does not work in any part of home except in the kitchen and only with an Ethernet cable and close to the router. Even with this set up it still disconnects randomly. I was not told this at check-in and was told it works throughout the home. The listing said there was a dedicated workspace with wifi but the only space was in the kitchen with ethernet cable.
Need to provide your own ethernet cable
Ran diagnostics with IT professionals to confirm the issue was not our devices
I work remotely and my child needs to do online school assignments at the same time.
Our only option was to sit together at the same small one person desk in the kitchen and both be connected by ethernet cable which did not work for us.
Toilet:
Toilet in 2nd bathroom made noises and backed up with old sewage or from another unit
Couldn’t use bathroom and chose not to
I informed host who said it’s normal and that we should use the toilet
Strong Sewage smell that permeated the home
Electricity:
Power went out 3 times in a 2 week period
When it came back on portions of the home didn’t get power. The electric window shutters would stop working when halfway so there was light in the room from any light outside when trying to sleep.
Construction next door:
There is a new house fully gutted under construction next door.
Construction started around 7:30am and went on all day and was quite loud. In order to lessen the noise I didn’t open windows all day and could not use the balcony.
I was not informed of the construction next door when I booked.
No dishwasher
Host:
Lives downstairs from the unit and around a lot
I did not feel my schedule or boundaries were respected. I explained my work hours and availability if she needed access to the unit, but she would often show up during my work hours rather than the time I shared with her that I was available, and she was often outside my door as I was coming and going. I would have preferred to have more privacy and personal space and less interruptions, especially since I was not on vacation and had a busy schedule with work and caring for my family.
