Thank you Tanya for hosting me and for your stellar and prompt communication. Just wanted to share the following few things from my experience:
1. The unit is freezing. The wall ac/heater is very loud and it works in an intermittent fashion where it runs for about a minute and shuts off the next. It also takes a while to warm up the unit living room alone and let’s not talk about the bedroom. I had to sleep with my jacket on first couple nights; however, tanya was quick to get my a floor heater for the room, so she solved that problem.
2. The sofa bed pullout is broken: in an attempt to sleep in the living room because the bedroom was freezing, the pullout is completely broken, which was not noted on the listing. I let tanya know about this and she was already previously alerted of this issue.
3. Location: about 20 mins from all
The hot spots; however the actual location. If the home is questionable. Lots of homeless and unique characters around. I made sure the doors were locked every 2-3 hours. Also the unit has a very bad odor despite airing it out daily, the smell is constant
4. Insensible check-in rules and regulations: tanya provided me with an very long check-in rules, some of which I thought were absurd. For example, one of her rules were “
******Please be careful to not stain the sheets or bedding - with lotion or oil or food, any bedding that needs to be replaced will also result in a $75 fee per piece .” Naturally after my shower, I put lotion on so this request is a bit unreasonable and $75/piece of bedding that weren’t top of the line is absurd. A request for your tedious requests is to put it on your page for people to see prior to booking .
I actually left the unit early due to my own safety concerns, the odor and fear of “soiling sheets” and breaking one of her many unreasonable rules and regulations. It’s not a bad place but just sharing my experience for others to read before booking.
Thanks
