My friend and I booked Rachel’s place for one night since we were in town to see a show at the Balboa.
Rachel was very receptive and always messaged back immediately if we had an issue. (Ex. At 12am, after coming back from the show, we thought there was no hot water but she messaged back and said the H and C were switched).
Location is definitely prime, and close to water and many restaurants and shops. It took us about 20 minutes to walk to the balboa.
Cons:
Though this place was listed as a “2 BDR”, it is actually a bedroom with an additional sleeping space situated on the loft.
The apartment itself looked very clean, my friend found random bits of hair in different areas in her bed, and my bed also, though made up very nicely, did not smell clean, as if the sheets and pillows have simply been reused.
The most major concern with this property is the smell of mildew and mold. Understandably, it is an older building, and they are close to the water - the odor at times was overpowering- and being pregnant, I did not feel comfortable staying here. Upon entering the abode, we did open all windows for circulation but that only helped slightly.
Overall, I believe this property is a fantastic location, with a very professional host, but would be weary of staying here due to the issues mentioned above.
