Andre’s place was, overall, what I expected having read other reviews. It is not fancy or updated but it is in a FANTASTIC location, very well priced given its location, and a wonderfully pup-friendly property - all reasons we chose it. Andre is also a very responsive property owner, and I commend him for his communication before and during our stay. That turned out to be important because the blinds didn’t work (and couldn’t get fixed during our stay) and the toilet wouldn’t work by the first morning we woke up there. Andre sent someone to fix was fix it promptly but the problem apparently happened was because the cleaning person had inadvertently hidden the sign that said “please do not put toilet paper in the toilet” as this is a recurring problem according to the person who came to fix it. But these kinds of things can happen, and I do commend Andre for responding as soon as we texted him with each issue. The main reason I gave the place a less than stellar rating despite these pluses was because of cleanliness. The kitchenette area was not clean at all - when we arrived, there were food particles in the sink and the aping that was left for us to use was FILTHY. (Who doesn’t leave a new dishwashing sponge between renters during COVID?) There was grime all around the edges of the kitchen sink and the counters had not been fully wiped down. That said, the bedding smelled fresh and clean and the bed was quite comfortable. If the cleanliness issues were addressed, this place would be a gem for the location, dog friendliness and pricing.
