If you want to be nickled and dimed into oblivion then boy oh boy do I have then this is the perfect place for you! Buckle up. For starters, the place is solid. It's an apartment. 1 bedroom. It's clean. It works on that level.
Here are the reasons that I'd never stay here again under any circumstances.
I asked about doing laundry. I get a message back saying that the laundry room cost $5 an hour to use. Ummm what? I tell her "thats a weird move". She let's up and waives the fee. Blessed be the gods. All praises and gratefulness be to them and their infinite benevolence.
When I decide to do laundry a couple days later, the hosts mother meets me in the laundry room to show me how the machines work. (It's not that complicated. It's very straightforward)
She also was there to measure out the detergent for me just in case I tried to get wild and double up. Despite the lack of trust, I appreciated the brief camaraderie.
I go back into the airport and chill for a while. I forget about the clothes for a bit. I go down to put them in the dryer and the door is locked. "Hmmm"
I texted my laundry room buddy that I so deeply bonded with before.
"Hey pal. I'm not sure if I locked the door on accident or if you did. But I wanted to dry my clothes."
She replies. "I locked it. Couldn't wait longer. I'll open tomorrow morning at 11am"
Wow. Where is the trust. 😂. All that time we bonded in the laundry room and I thought we made progress and she locked the door because she didn't trust me to be around *checks notes* my own clothes and some detergent.
I told her my flight was early in the morning and she graciously allows me to come get the key to the laundry room. I gather my clothes and pour out a little detergent for the homies.
I had rented a car from Turo and I was gonna have the driver pick it up. I asked Katie if it's okay to have the car in the lot for a couple hours after check out. She says yes. 3 weeks after the reservation is closed she sends a request for $40 for late check out fees for the car. $10 per half hour. Whaaaa? She didn't mention that. What type of petty money grubbing monster does this? I've written enough. This was cathartic. Decent place.
