Unfortunately the place was not clean. It smelled, the floors and walls were dirty, the towels had a mildewed smell after one use. When I notified Marina about the smell her response was she doesn't smell anything and no one had complained. I pointed out there were 4 scented candles, 3 air fresheners, and a can of Fabreeze in the apt. so someone must have noticed it, she had no response. She dropped off a can of Lysol to spray on the rugs. In addition the floors were so dirty, if barefoot around the place, my feet were filthy within 15 minutes of showering. (I have photos of everything) I was in LA with my elderly mother, didn't want to spend my week complaining so I didn't pursue it any further.
What's unfortunate is, this could be a great rental, with just a good cleaning and a paint job. The location is very convenient, the space and light are great, it's adequately equipped and there is a parking spot.
I was conflicted about writing this review because Marina seemed very nice, I'm not a complainer and didn't want to come off vindictive. In the long run I hope this review will lead to all these things will be corrected and work out best in the long run for all concerned. Scott
