Overall, we were disappointed with the experience due to the lack of kitchen supplies and especially due to the lack of cleanliness of the space. We wished we had read the reviews more carefully as a few had shared similar experiences. The space has potential, however we would not stay here again.
Cons: The space was not properly cleaned prior to our arrival (hair in the bath tub catcher, crumbs under the dining table, dirty frying pan, bathroom mirror and stove, moldy bacon and past due items in an unclean fridge, big dust balls in the bedroom closet, floors were not swept). The cooking supplies was limited to one pot, one pan and one wok. The space had no proper plates, cups, mugs, or cutlery. It did have some plastic/styrofoam cups and paper plates/bowls. The bed squeaked and we could easily hear the other people in the other hostel/apartments in the house.
Pros: Budget apartment, smooth check in process with Ernest being in easy contact with us, street parking available, 20 minutes from most attractions.
We made a mistake in not contacting the owner immediately about the space to see if he would have done something to address the dire lack of cleanliness. However it is our expectation that when we pay for an AirBnB and a $40 cleaning fee, that we will arrive in a clean space.
