Where do I begin..
I’ll start with the good. It’s cute, has the basics, is clean & is in a nice neighborhood..
Now down to the real..
1. The description of this listing is not what your getting..
I looked for specific things in a home because we have 2 young kids.
2. The host will text you a pdf screenshot of rules once you book which has things on it that contradicts the description of the listing.
So listing says there is heating, a parking space & ample street parking. When we received the PDF document I quickly noticed that it said if we were to park in the spaces provided we would be towed. Every night we were stuck parking blocks away from the place.
3. Being that we have young kids & it’s currently cold in the evenings/night we were very upset when I texted the host on day 2 of our stay about the heating & they stated “It does not work, you can use the space heaters that are located in the closet”. First problem is I wouldn’t have booked this place had I known there was no heat, second, the space heaters are a joke.. they are 4x5in tiny little heaters with just an on & off switch. They did not heat anything. We were forced to buy our own heater because when I asked if they had others or extra blankets I got no response.
If we could have afforded to cancel this place & book somewhere else I would have ASAP!
4. The apts that this place is located in is super old.. old wooden doors, thin walls & windows that you can see outside of through the cracks.. there is wind that comes in the apt from all different places which keeps the place super cold.
5. The check in process was okay.. but such a hassle. Meeting up with some guy who has you sign a document & takes a photo of your ID.
6. After booking we were very surprised to see that the document they sent overseas exactly did not have a guaranteed parking space and that we would be towed if parked in the apartments mini lot.. you have to be home before everyone gets off work to find street parking otherwise you will be circling the neighborhood & walking in the cold.
I could go on but in short this place was super cute & affordable but did not at all live up to the description.. many things were broken or looked as if they were breaking.
