In the present condition, I cannot recommend this place. First of all it's important to understand that this unit is a converted storage unit. In response
to a previous reviewer who mentioned this fact, the owner said that the apartment complex has many "lower" units that have been converted to apartments. What the owner failed to mention in his response is that the other units have small patios and full size windows and doors that people can approach walking upright. This unit, on the other hand, has a mound of dirt in front of the entry that requires a person over 5'2" to crouch down as they approach the door. My wife who is 5'3" bumped her head multiple times as she ducked under the door frame to enter and leave the unit.
As we entered the unit for the first time we encountered a strong musty odor, which my wife described as a "wet dog smell". The only window in the unit is small which doesn't allow for good ventilation. When we were in the unit we left the front door open and the bathroom fan on for better ventilation, which helped somewhat.
There were several other issues that made the stay less than pleasant, that could easily have been remedied, making the place more livable.
1. The old worn out towels in the bathroom were ragged and grey. They looked liked rags picked out of the cleaning supplies. A little bleach when washing would really help. Better yet, they should be replaced with newer ones.
2. Same with the bed sheets. The flannel sheets, were old and pilled. Very uncomfortable.
3. The unit was partially painted. Not only were walls and ceiling left half painted, there was painters tape left in place even in places where the painting was completed. The unit didn't smell like new paint so it seemed to be in this half painted state for a long time.
4. The musty odor is probably emanating from mildew growing under the shower stall floor. Under the rubber mat in the stall are several cracks that looked like someone unsuccessfully tried to patch.
5. The area where the small refrigerator and microwave are located also had a bathroom vanity that was not hooked to any plumbing, making it completely useless and taking up space. It was just being stored there.
6. Oddly the new paint is dark brown, which makes the unit look smaller and dingier than it already is.
7. The shower stall has no caddy, so there is no place to put soap and shampoo.
None of these issues by themselves (except the entry) are significant. But taken together, gives the impression that the owner just doesn't care enough to improve the guest's experience. Which is why I can't recommend this place.
