While I was hoping to write a fantastic review I did run into some issues but I'll start with the positive:
- Easy check-in and a host representative met us to show us around the apartment.
- View from the apartment is great.
- Location is nice, you can walk to the beach or Gothic District.
I ran into 2 problems while staying here one of which was my fault but the host handled poorly:
- First there was construction on the facade of the building which we were not notified of. Every morning we were awakened bright and early by someone hammering right outside our bedroom window. Not the way to want to wake up 4 mornings in a for while on vacation.
- Secondly, I left a pair of $1,000 designer jeans in the apartment. When I text the host a few days later they told me the cleaning lady took them but threw them away. I told the host I find it hard to believe that a cleaning lady would throw away a perfectly fine pair of jeans. I asked the host to please get in touch with the cleaning lady and have her return them. They messaged me back and said the cleaning lady did not have them anymore.
I am more inclined to believe that someone looked up the brand to find out that they were $1,000 "Off-White" pants and decided to either keep them for themselves or sell them for a profit. Either way I told the host that regardless of value if someone leaves a personal belonging behind they should at least make an effort to get back in touch with the guest to see if it was left behind on purpose.
Like I mentioned earlier it was completely my fault that I left these pants behind but I truly feel like the host or their representative decided to rip me off rather than be an honorable person and return the pants.
