I don't often complain this much about short-term rentals, but this stay left a bad enough stay in my mouth, I feel compelled to leave this review. Management/host is unfriendly and unwilling to address guest concerns. Upon arrival, the unit smelled heavily of marijuana and we promptly informed the person responsible for responding to messages on behalf of the host. We were told it wasn't possible that the unit smelled of marijuana because smoking was against the rules, he claimed not to have smelled anything when he was setting the door code (which he also admitted he did after check-in time, but fortunately we checked in a bit after the check-in time). I twice offered to allow him to come smell the unit himself and he refused, implying I was lying about the smell.
We opened windows for several hours and the smell persisted throughout the first 2.5 days of our stay. No one was in the alley and it was not transient--it was present at all hours of the day. We believe the occupants of the unit next door (1622) may have been smoking indoors as when they were not around on Saturday afternoon and early Sunday the smell abated, only to return Sunday afternoon at which time we noticed the next door unit was again occupied. There is also evidence of smoking having occurred inside this unit itself as there are burn marks on a few of the slats of the left-most front window.
Management/ownership need to take these sorts of complaints more seriously and not imply that they believe their guest is lying.
Further, the listing is misleading. It advertises itself as an "entire bungalow", implying you will not be sharing walls with anyone--a fact that was material to our decision to stay here. In fact, it is not the entire bungalow but one half of a bungalow that has been converted to a duplex. While you cannot hear the people in the next unit over, you can easily smell their activities.
The only redeeming quality of this unit is its location and being pet friendly. We had a specific need for a pet-friendly unit so our options were limited. Otherwise we would have terminated the stay early.
