Here’s an objective review of this unit. Overall the cons outweigh the pros and I would not stay here again if given the opportunity.
Pros:
1) Cost - I got the unit for 30% off the list price.
2) Host - The host is communicative. He will respond to you pretty quickly. He also accommodated my request of providing a new mattress and screen door for the back patio.
Cons:
1) Cleanliness: The unit is not clean. You could tell that it was not professionally cleaned. From the floors, to bedroom, and bathroom it just wasn’t clean. I asked for a vacuum for the unit and was not provided one.
2) Location: you’re not in the best area. There are a couple of homeless that camp out on The street and make walking around feel unsafe.
3) Amenities: it’s barely furnished and the kitchen does not include what you would like to fully cook. I had to purchase my own Roku device to watch TV.
4) Back Patio: it’s full of flys and bugs and is not usable.
5) Entrance: I don’t believe the entrance to the unit is pictured but you walk through the shared laundry unit which also includes the garbage. There tends to be flys and bugs there since the garbage is placed there. Not an enjoyable experience to get to the unit.
6) Thin Walls: you hear everything. The unit is on the first floor so you hear the neighbors upstairs and next door.
