Regarding the size of the space it was good. Both bedrooms had plenty of room for us as well as the patio and living spaces.
We had issues with the unit:
1) Toilet is not in good working order and we fixed the handle, chain and floater several times.
2) The outer shower curtain is extremely dirty and needs to be replaced- a lot of grime, mildew etc probably should replace both pieces.
3) The bathroom edges along the wall should also have a good scrubbing because there’s a lot of black grime or mildew.
4) The bedroom closets smell “old” and being there for a week, my clothes absorbed the smell. The best closet is the one by the front door.
5) There was or is a broken planter we saw in the living room, took a photo and advised the owner explaining we noticed it when using the plug by it. She asks if we broke it after I told her we found it like that. Apparently a previous guest did not report it or her cleaning crew broke it and didn’t tell her.
6) The coffee pot leaked. Hopefully she has replaced it for the next visitors.
7) a step ladder in the kitchen should be provided because the cabinets for some of the things are too high up and couldn’t be reached. We didn’t want to step on her chairs.
8) Not the owners issue but the building is very old and the stairwells are extremely dirty and not kept clean. The elevator is a bit better. Maybe they use the same cleaning people.
I think if the owner hired a better cleaning service and did deep cleaning in between each visitor’s stay, this would be a much better place to stay. The location is good and there is plenty of parking ( be sure to read street cleaning signs) and we felt safe walking around the neighborhood.
There are many places to walk to as well because it’s only a couple blocks from two main streets with coffee spots and restaurants.
