This weathered unit has been mildly spruced up with simple IKEA style furnishings, a comfortable bed and fresh paint. The building is pretty awful and, as described, the location is nothing to be desired. The fact that the front door to the building was perpetually propped open diminished a feeling of safety. Entryway to the building also wreaks of cigarettes and cheap air freshener. Parking space is extremely tight and difficult to maneuver in and out of (even with a small car) when neighbor’s truck and van are present. It was 90 degrees when I stayed over. And although I was specifically searching for a place with air conditioning, the listing didn’t mention that only the bedroom has a/c. It was too hot to use the kitchen or living room (where TV is located). Kitchen and bathroom are run down and a large, rusty gas heater is dangling off the wall in the hallway. Host was responsive and offered a few suggestions about places to check out. Personally, I would not stay there again.
