I had high hopes for this place. The photos are very appealing and well taken. Edna is actually a very polite and communicative person. That being said I had some serious issues and she simply didn't resolve them in a fair way. I'd like to start off by saying that I am an ICU nurse in the area for work, which she stated she loves when I checked in.
Upon check in, I saw that the unit was small, but livable. There is a strong musty smell in the unit that resembles the mothballed closet of my grandfather who was a heavy smoker. No worries I thought, I'll febreeze it. The closet is also filled with random couch pillows, storage tupperware, and towels and sheets that appear to be those of previous guests who left them behing. Not the kind that a professional host would buy and keep maintained after every few months worth of guests. After 2 days I saw a gigantic cockroach in the shower. I killed it, flushed it, and messaged Edna. She apologized and said she would send someone to spray. I declined having them spray poison inside the unit, as it is pretty small. So she said they would spray outside only. I found that to be acceptable because she is trying to make things right, even though I was really grossed out. There is also a pretty constant stream of ?fruit flies? or some kind of tiny fly that seems to multiply regardless of how many you kill. They are a continuous roommate.
Another issue, although less gross, was the fact that the dryer was broken. Having laundry was a MAJOR selling point for this unit because i wash my scrubs each time I wear them. The only load of laundry I tried doing there took 4 hours and $10 and my clothes still came out wet. She politely apologized an offered to refund my $10 and send a technician out to fix it. I still haven't received my $10 refund for the laundry.
I was working 12 hour shifts in the ICU for 3 out of the 7 days I toughed it out there, but the final straw was waking up with the middle of the night with an overwhelming feeling of itchiness and that I was being bitten. I looked thoroughly at the bed horrified that it might be bedbugs, but I saw no signs of them. I had to sum it up to be some kind of Mite infestation. At that point I also wen to the restroom only to see another cockroach scatter off.
I was done. I packed all my belongings in the middle of the night (around midnight) and spent about $500 on a hotel for a couple nights. Mind you, I work a shift in 3 hours at the ICU. I had a terrible night. So far Edna has been amicable, but unreasonable in the very modest amount of a refund she issued for those unlivable, uninhabitable issues. I will be fighting very hard to make this right.
If she does some maintenance and very minor updating to it, it could be a nice place.
