i had to go back and read all the other reviews for this listing again, because they are nothing like the experience we had. this was a very disappointing experience.
the biggest issue: we had no hot water for the first two days our stay. when i messaged the host about it, there was about a 6 hour delay in getting a response. and then about another 19 hours more before getting another response. ultimately, the superintendent of the building had to visit twice: one to change a gas tank and again to show us how to use the hot water, which involved turning on the kitchen tap first, then the bathroom tap, and finally the shower. even then the water was often luke warm.
the neighbourhood is quite scary, and this coming from someone who loves roaming around detroit. my friend had a threatening encounter with someone just a few blocks from the door, at only around 8pm. i wouldnt leave the building on my own after dark and we always had an uber waiting.
in addition, there were some cleanliness issues, long hairs that didnt belong to either of us on the furniture, on the shower walls, in our beds. stained curtains and furniture.
some other annoying things: the balcony is shared amongst the whole floor. there is paint splattered all over everything, from the kitchen counter to the toilet brush, from what looks like a hasty painting job. even the spigot on the water jug took like 2 minutes to fill up a glass.
all in all, just very disappointing and misleading.
