My boyfriend and I stayed at this studio for a couple of days. Unfortunately, there were too many issues for us to give a good rating.
Starting with the overall cleanliness of the place… it seemed as though professional cleaners have not been hired. There was dust and cobwebs all over the place, especially on the kitchen cabinets and bathroom walls/lights. There were dead bugs in the shower, crumbs on the table and the towels smelled dirty. Cleanliness is huge for me and my boyfriend and we felt uncomfortable during our stay.
Speaking of the bathroom, the toilet seat was broken due to the lid not being on the seat. Every time we tried to use the bathroom, the seat moved around a lot and at one point came fully off! The sink in the bathroom also does not drain properly and backs up a lot.
In the kitchen, there were no utensils besides one knife and a spoon. There were a couple of plastic forks but there really should be a complete set of utensils for guests to use. Also in relation to cleanliness, there were no dishwasher pods. There was dishwashing soap but all the sponges below the sink looked old and dirty. It made me question the cleanliness of the cutlery in there.
Under the sink and in the drawers looked as though someone had just thrown a bunch of old used things in. Definitely added to the feeling that the studio was neglected and was an afterthought.
Outside of the actual studio, the brush needs to be trimmed back a bit. Entering and exiting through the small alleyway and through the wooden gate was very unpleasant as the brush was so overgrown it left about an 18-in clearance. Trying to get our luggage through was difficult. Also because the brush is overgrown, we had to walk through spiderwebs every morning leaving the studio.
Although there were a lot of things I did not like about the place, there were positives. The location is great and is walking distance to a ton of breweries. The parking is on-street but there were always plenty of spots and I never had to worry about that. Also Jacob responds quickly to messages.
