The location is wonderful and overall Gary was a good host. Communication was very quick and helpful.
There were a few setbacks.
When we arrived there was dirty water flooding out of the washer dryer when we opened it. I contacted Gary who said he would have someone come look at it, which was helpful. We are unsure if that happened as a few days later we opened it and more water was flooding out. We decided not to risk using it, which was unfortunate as we had been traveling and had to resort to paying for a service.
The apartment didn’t match the photos represented in the booking. It was overall clean and fine, but there was no artwork on any of the walls (just nails as if someone had taken them down) and no lamps throughout the apartment. There wasn’t enough soap for 4 guest nor was there enough toilet paper for our 5 night stay. The hot pot for tea and coffee in the kitchen also didn’t work.
The light in the hallway was also out and very dark and dangerous in the stairwell at night. I contacted Gary about this but he couldn’t help. This was especially difficult as I was traveling with 60+ year old family members who found it difficult to access the 3rd floor walk up in the dark with luggage (not advertised).
Overall our stay was clean and fairly convenient but there could definitely be improvements.
