Overall, this stay is what you make it. I needed a place to hang out and relax for a few days. First off, Danielle is very pleasant and responsive and the neighborhood is great. I loved the dining options that weren’t chains. Just a really cute and beautiful area, and going south down 30th and Fern Street.
Unfortunately I did not enjoy my stay. There were two issues I had to speak with Danielle about already so when more arose I just said screw it and took the place as it came. I will not disclose those here as one was indicated as an isolated incident.
There are 8 bungalows on this property. Two houses were occupied by people that knew each other. These two parties (making about 6 people) stayed in the courtyard from about 7pm-2am (property curfew is 10pm) without face coverings 2 nights out of my 4 night stay. There was a dog assumingly left alone in one house and it barked all day long.
My bungalow was cute but was lacking. When going inside you’re greeted with an overwhelming must smell. The guests next door expressed the same issue. These photos were taken in the unit’s prime. The bedroom is missing a shelf and has exposed screws on the wall and the entire unit needs a scrub down and fresh coat of paint. The bedroom is especially bad.
The bathroom door latch is broken and there were about 5 other holes in the door that showed it was never properly repaired. The bathroom door doesn’t stay closed without this latch, which left me showering exposed to the two windows on the side with sheer gray coverings and no curtains. Beside this, the bathroom is gorgeous and it was my favorite part!
The a/c unit, ceiling fans, and wall heater were very, very dusty. I ended up scraping out the a/c unit myself. The ceiling scaffolding is littered with huge cobwebs above the bed and wardrobe. These were also very, very dusty.
The back sliding door’s screen does not have a lock. There is also no wood stopper for the sliding door so if you want it open you have to be alert. The cute note for the back door nightlight lead me to a switch that turned nothing on or off. These curtains could also use a run through the wash.
By the smell and white crusted substance on part of the comforter, I could not tell if it was laundered prior to my stay. Whereas the towels were fresh and clean smelling.
In the kitchen, there was a blue foamy cleaner all over the cutting board, which makes me think the house is cleaned with haste rather than detail.
I am grateful for Leni and Danielle being so nice and I appreciate the effort. The area alone made up for these shortcomings, but I am not sure I can 100% recommend this property.
