THE GOOD:
Amazing location, very central, indoor parking lot is extremely convenient. Great views of the city and the bay, the balcony is an enjoyable place to have morning coffee or drinks at night. Living room arrangement is pleasant and comfortable.
*** THE BAD:
The place wasn't clean upon check-in. There was an old sock, a bra and some change left on the kitchen counter. I had to clean the bathroom sink, mirror and fridge. Carpeting is very dirty and has many stains throughout. I experienced major issues with the plumbing during my stay and wasn't able to use the washing machine for a few days. On top of it, I had to stay home for several hours for 3 separate plumber visits (side note: The host promised a compensation for the inconvenience which I never received. ** REVISED: I did receive the compensation, following this review). Fridge was filled with lots of expired food. Same with the pantry (I found cans expired in 2016). Glasses, cups and silverware had to go into the dishwasher because they were dirty (lip stains, crusty knives, greasy finger prints on wine glasses). The bed is very uncomfortable, the mattress has lost its support and it's out of shape.
I think a lot of the issues I had are due to the owner's lack of care. With some TLC and a thorough cleaning job before new guests come in, this place could be great. All the cleanliness problems I had are easily fixable by hiring a thorough cleaner. White carpeting isn't the best choice for a high turnover rental that is pet-friendly, I wish I had realized the place was carpeted before making the reservation. The front door needs to be adjusted and makes a loud friction noise each time it opens. Again, easily fixable but it's clearly been this way for a while by looking at the damage its caused on the floor.
I stayed at Wendy places for 5 weeks and would rate is as "average". Someone staying for a couple days and spending most of their time exploring the city and eating out would probably feel differently.
