The building this condo is located in is very old and in need of lots of TLC. Holes in the hallway walls, very stained and smelly elevators and carpets. The apartment itself was thankfully neat and cleanish by comparison.
First the pros:
-Garage Parking spot included was very useful
-Great location in Chinatown
- yummy eats practically across the street
-Short walk to Jack London Square, yummy food, BART station, etc.
outdoor balcony
-super quick and friendly responses to messages to host
- has a kitchen
- nice size apartment
- clean sheets
The toilet was broken water running and making noise all night long, we had to constantly take off lid to reset the floater stopper thing. Toilet overflowed for no reason … there were no extra towels and no bathroom cleaner available so had to leave condo to purchase some so that I could clean the bathroom with our bath towels. I had to try to find five dollars in quarters so I could then spend nearly two hours of my vacation in hot laundry washing and drying towels from a run over toilet do that we could bathe and have towels. So that day we missed out in over five hours of vacation plans due to all that. The apartment has no air conditioning and as advertised there were fans. One small desk fan and one tall floor fan, the bedroom windows do not open; if you go during the hottest week in summer please be aware of this… we did not realize the windows would not open and the limited number, type, and size of the fans provided.
There are pros and cons to this place. One of the biggest pros is the host. Super nice host that responds quickly to messages and concerns. The location is great and the raking garage space. But just be fully aware of what you are walking into.
