Here is an open and honest review of this listing. The location is fabulous! Right in the heart of the GasLamp District surrounded by wonderful eateries and the hustle and bustle of downtown. The check in process has a lot of details but hey it is what it is. Follow the directions given and you won’t have a problem. Parking is really close and convenient.
Now here is where things get hairy. The building is old. Upon entering you will bit hit with an overwhelming, gut-wrenching, smell of what I can only describe as stale urine and potpourri (from the tens of air fresheners attempting to cover it up). The elevator is worse. 10 times worse. I couldn’t breathe. Literally held my breath from the time i entered to the time I got into the room. That’s the worst of it.
The space itself...not bad. I mean it was ok. The bathroom sink didn’t drain at all and we were missing a tv cable and bottle opener...but that’s really minor stuff. The host got us a cable the next day and brought a opener so that was cool. Apparently people steal these things often (which is sad to hear in of itself).
I will say this, once in the unit it is virtually sound proof. You don’t even know you are in the middle of Downtown and al that is going on outside. It is very quiet.
If you can stomach the horrid smells getting to the room then this place is good enough.
