So over all I say it was a 3 out of 5. Marcus was really nice, communicative and asked if I needed help with luggage and was super friendly. Only he has a lot of rules for the tiny space.
1) I found it a little odd that he had asked me to put my bath towels in the hallway after each use. I didn’t feel comfortable doing that because it is a communal hallway, he confirmed that no one would be touching them because it was on the top floor, only he would if he felt the towels weren’t hanging up properly. Reasons for it being in the hall was because he didn’t want mildew to grow. I’m a very clean person I just don’t think I was comfortable with the fact with my personal towels being out there, especially with covid not knowing when or who would be touching them. So maybe hang up a hanger IN the room for towel purposes?
2) As I said he was very communicative and responded fast, in the beginning he kept asking my hours of when I was going to be there only I felt he was writing me almost every day with a request or comment. I kind of just wanted my space.
3) As to space, in the photo on his ad it shows that the unit is attached to his apartment, and that’s okay... but I felt like he could hear everything I was doing, and I could hear everything he was doing. So I felt that the privacy wasn’t really there.
4) Situation with the windows, he has them built in a way for perfect ventilation, and I felt I did everything as I was instructed, but one evening my window was complete open, so I asked him about it and he further commented saying that he had noticed it and got mad at the fact it was open that far and the wind must have opened it back up. Later he tells me how to properly fasten it, then states that the place has been broken into. So basically for the rest of my trip/stay I didn’t really feel safe and kind of felt like someone was watching me?.. having that in the back of your mind as a single traveler is scary.
4) With safety, when you first walk in the gate theres an automatic light, but then when you walk up the first set of stairs to the first door, it’s complete pitch black at night. I only noticed the light inside the hallway only after I was staying there and getting ready to leave. So more light would have been nice for the late night UBER EATS craving.
Over all I didn’t really feel comfortable. But Marcus was super nice and respectful like I stated so if you do stay just make sure you communicate on these issues first. We did but I didn’t know the severity of the layout of the place. Good for a single Traveler but not for a long stay.
