Very nice host and co-host. They were very accommodating with any issues what arose during the trip. The apartment has a lot of good features. The bed was comfortable. The shower big. Location is easy to get around to anything you need. Street parking was never a problem. The area may look rough in some spots but never felt unsafe walking around or leaving our car on the street. Just be aware of the shuffling of street cleaning signage throughout the week.
The biggest thing that really ruined our stay (which has nothing to do with the apartment or Airbnb itself), but there is construction going up next door, a massive apartment complex, and it is so extremely loud that we had to leave and forfeit two months of our Airbnb stay. It was impossible to work there. They start work at 7am, and the drills and hammers go crazy promptly at 7am so you’ll never be able to sleep in no matter how many ear plugs or pillows you out over your ears. It was torturous and I wish we knew that was going on because we lost $4200 having to leave early.
The place needs much more kitchen cooking supplies. They have things you’d see in a dorm, but not enough things to cook with.
I had to do a major sweeping of the apartment when we arrive because there were long human hairs all over the place and by the time I swept the floor there was a massive mound of hair showing that the floor were not cleaned.
The oven was also not cleaned and start smoking when we turned it on. I had to clean the oven myself too.
There’s a sign above the toilet saying to flush frequently because it’s clogs. No matter how many times we flushed it still ended up clogging multiple times and we had to get the owner to unclog it multiple times.
The bed sheets when we arrived were covered in grease stains. Was pretty gross and not tended to.
However, the hosts and co-host were very apologetic and gave us new sheets and I feel bad saying all this because they are very nice people. It’s just we spent all that money along with a cleaning fee so we shouldn’t have to clean other peoples messes and the place should be clean.
It would’ve been a better trip is the apartment complex was being built next door. I hope no one does a long term there until the building is completed.
Was a bittersweet stay, and again, I feel bad stating the negative sides of the place because it could be a great short term rental! Really liked the owners a lot. Just needs to be cleaned more thoroughly and should be in the listing description that there is construction happening next door.
