Location, location, location. This listing is in a perfect location if you’re staying here for the nightlife.
If you’re staying here for comfort however, that’s a different story.
Upon arrival we discovered bugs in the apartment and on the beds. Hair on the pillows and sheets. A dirty sock under the dresser and used hair ties. We reached out to Nancy and she did get a cleaner to the apartment within the hour but it was extremely disappointing to walk into the Airbnb after a long day of traveling to find it almost inhabitable. The cleaner originally was only going to change the sheets and we had to ask her to clean the floors and wipe down the surfaces. Which I think is pretty reasonable after finding bugs, hair, and items from other tenants in the listing.
On top of that, the bathroom had metal hardware where the towel rack was supposed to be and exposed drill holes all throughout the apartment which made everything feel very unfinished. The toilet brush in the bathroom looked disgusting and very used which is fine for someone’s home but this is an Airbnb not a hostel.
My group stayed here for 1 night so it was tolerable but as a long term stay this listing felt like crashing at a bachelor pad. It’s also extremely noisy and you can hear everything from the streets (which is to be expected with how close this location is to the bar scenes). But if you want peace and quiet this is not the listing for you.
I also pre-communicate with the host about having an extra guest and paid extra money which was agreed upon by the host, but had one of the property managers reach out to me about having excessive guest after having the the cleaner mention that we had more than 6 guest.
Parking is also one block away and it is a huge hassle to have someone pull up the car to unload and load luggage. The parking pass also only works for 1 car and this listing accommodates 6+ people so be prepared to pay the extra $40+ a day for additional vehicles.
Overall, I appreciate that the host sent a cleaner but the apartment shouldn’t have been in that state in the first place. For the cost of this reservation my group could have stayed at a hotel that doesn’t have dead bugs.
