I really wanted to leave Paty a good review because she was responsive and I could tell that she was trying to fix things, but her behavior turned after I terminated our stay early so I'll share a few words so other people don't get stuck in the same position.
The biggest problem, and the reason we had to leave early, was that the wifi simply didn't work. This presented huge challenges for me as I work remotely, and I ended up paying for a hotspot that struggled to support the zoom calls I need to be on all day.
Paty was responsive about trying to fix it, and sent somebody almost every day of the stay, but it would work for at best an hour afterward and then stop again. The first night I was able to watch Netflix, but after that even basic browsing was impossible on the networks she made available to us. (Paty lives upstairs so it's also confusing that she didn't seem to understand that our wifi continued to fail.)
The apartment is dirty and run down. Dust, creepy old pillows, cracking paint, worn linens, bad couches covered with ill-fitting old bedsheets to hide stains, a pair of women's panties hanging from the clothesline in the outdoor shed area, problematic sinks and drains and hardware. It feels like the place missed a decade of basic maintenance and that whoever cleans the place is far from detail-oriented.
Ironically Party sent a request for $500 damages after our early checkout, claiming that we left the apartment dirty. To be fair there was a cat staying with us that I didn't expect to host (my friend has a big heart and decided to cat-sit for the week), but a little cat hair is the least of that place's problems.
The apartment is very cold, colder than the outside temperature, and only two small space heaters can be run simultaneously otherwise the power will short. I was cold enough that I had a hard time sleeping.
Paty was understanding about us terminating our stay early, but then over a week later sent a request for damages that were most certainly not caused by us, and an out-of-character tirade that was clearly fabricated to recover some cash from the early termination. She's even trying to say that we caused the wifi problem, which is just ironic. A disappointing stay to say the least.
All that being said, the space has potential, the location is great, and in the beginning Paty was so nice that I was happy to overlook all of the other issues. If we hadn't needed to check out early because of wifi and work we might have had a pleasant stay.
