Upon entry I was really excited about this place! Aesthetically pleasing, but it mostly stops there. Big high ceilings and the furniture make it look spacious and well put together. Even the beds are comfortable. I was to stay there for 6 days with a girlfriend of mine, and during my stay I had a couple more friends help me set things up for a work event, and I made them dinner.
I'm certain that this property has never actually been lived in. Things that would have been nice, and that every Airbnb I've ever been in has, but this did not (I will go into detail after): proper lighting, hot water in the shower, wi-fi, soap in the hand soap dispenser, soap for the shower, more than 2 garbage bags, laundry detergent for the machines there, a broom,and on a more serious note, the smoke detector wasn't functioning properly as the battery kept reminding me that it needed a change every two minutes.
There were two bedrooms, in one of the bedrooms all of the track lighting from the ceiling had burnt out bulbs. When my friends lamp went out, I had to give her a bulb from one of my two table side lamps. There were some burnt out bulbs in the main room as well. The wi-fi was very spotty and sometimes I couldn't get a signal for an hour. I let the host know and someone finally came five days into my stay but I needed to be there which wasn't the most convenient option as I was in town for a work event. After a few days, the shower was only emitting lukewarm to cool water, in both the main shower and the tub shower! Not to mention, there was no soap provided in either, and the handsink soap dispenser had literally two squirts left when we arrived.
I spent more time irritated in this space than anything else. How do you not provide essentials like enough toilet paper or soap for two people for 6 days? It's aesthetically pleasing but not functional. Like a Trojan Horse. Looks can be deceiving.
It's clear that no one actually lives in this unit. When I had asked about recycling, you would know if you lived there that there is none. I had several cardboard boxes, as I had stayed for work, and had many packages delivered for an event at the Majestic that week. I think before any guest stays here, it should be fully equipped with soap and toilet paper and trash bags, and someone should check to make sure that all of the lights and smoke detectors are working and fully charged. The basics, and hot water would have been nice in the shower.
Finally, the unit isn't in the best neighborhood in town, and it's not like the landlord is there if you need them. It's very sketchy outside the two blocks surrounding the entrance. Very strong urine odor.
