I regret to say this is not a great place to stay. It photographs well, but it feels like they slapped the place together and haven't looked back since. There are so many things that could make this place work but it's pretty shoddy throughout. Note the bars on the window behind the couch? That's not decorative. While the listing states that it's City living, diverse neighborhood, etc., it does not state that every house in the neighborhood has bars on the doors and windows, and in some cases driveway gates as well. Had I known this, I never would have stayed here with my 12 year old son. I'm sure the neighbors were lovely, I just didn't feel very safe. I never would have left my son alone for any amount of time. When I wrote to the owner to express this concern, in addition to others, the response I received (from his sister, he was traveling) was "well we've never had problems with anyone else who stayed before" and " the listing clearly states what the neighborhood is like". Not true at all.. That did nothing to comfort me. Here's the rundown: no instructions to turn on the wall heater. Couldn't find the thermostat. When I texted for more information she directed me to where the thermostat was. I found wires sticking out of the wall. No thermostat. Finally, accidentally found the new thermostat at a new location on our last day there.. used space heaters up until that point . Since electrical outlets are not in convenient places and there was no extension cord, I ended up daisy chaining surge protectors together. Not safe. Found the smoke alarm laying on the desk next to the bed rather than being mounted on the wall. Never checked to see if it worked. Outside photo showing patio, the rug outside is now in the living room and not sure that it's actually been cleaned since they brought it in. Nice sized clean bathroom is tucked behind two sliding mirror doors that used to be a closet. Smart use of space but the rails are sketchy and we were worried we were going to knock the doors off the track. Wooden towel racks in bathroom are mildewed under nice new fluffy towels. Fruit flies in the bathroom. Kitchen cabinets missing screws so handles are loose. Fitted sheets don't actually fit futon in front room. Flat sheets are available but one of the two was completely shredded and threadbare. I will comment that the beds were both very comfortable. This place has a lot of potential, they're just really not spending the time to take care of it.
