First off, the hosts and team were very responsive with any issues we had and quickly tried their best to address them. The booking process was easy, check-in/maintenance (Naj and Jonathan) were nice and professional. Melanie and Sean were nice and responsive and worked with us. Now, the areas we had issues with: the unit is in fairly poor shape. The blinds don’t fit the window at all and it’s very difficult to sleep in or block out light. The faucet in the kitchen was barely in place and almost came loose and the cloth rack in the bathroom fell apart after first use. Host and maintenance did address these in a timely manner and even dropped off extra sheets to use as curtains for the windows. The doors all creak (even some floors). The bedroom door and bathroom doors conflict with each other. If you want access the one, the one has to stay closed. Then the door into the building upstairs stopped working and you can’t open it from the outside. If you’re like us and got parking spot number 2, you have to find street parking because Thursday is trash day. Difficult to find parking if returning late Wednesday.
Lastly, read carefully. description will tell you where the extra two beds are. It is listed as a 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom. But It should actually be 1 bedroom 1 bathroom as two beds are in the living room.
The area is nice and safe and there’s a little coffee shop two blocks away. Easy access to downtown, zoo and children park but owners have a ways to go to making this come to its fullest potential. Some investments will have to be made to fix and maintain things here and there.
The coffee machine, coffee filter and filters, plates, utensils dishwashers were nice touches. The oversized fridge is way too big to be in the kitchen and barely opens all the way.
Overall it was an okay stay. It was definitely a smaller 1 bed 1 bath so if you’re looking for 2 bedrooms, this isn’t it.
