The studio unit itself is beautiful, clean and well maintained. BUT…
There are SIX NARROW FLIGHTS OF STAIRS to get to the unit. THERE ARE NO ELEVATORS. This is not a rental for elderly or handicapped or anyone with a lot of luggage.
There are 3 CODES TO GET IN: exterior gate; door to tower the unit is in; and the unit itself. THAT should have been a CLUE.
There are HOMELESS PEOPLE EVERYWHERE outside the building. I’m a man who lives in Mexico where I feel much safer. I FELT UNSAFE taking my dog out at night and early in the morning.
I was very clear about my arrival time and inquired about early entry. Fir told me he would let me know and I could store my luggage in the office. There was NO ONE in the LOCKED office and Fir never got back to me, so I just entered the unit two hours early.
There were no cushions for the patio furniture in the unit so I asked where they were. His response was ‘they take them in when it rains.’
This property IS NOT a superhost experience.
