I chose this condo because it was the closest near the convention center. I wish I'd read up a little more on the neighborhood. It's not dangerous or anything, but with its proximity to Colfax I didn't feel comfortable walking around alone at night (walked by a guy sleeping on the sidewalk my first evening and just turned around).
There's a lot of amenities I didn't expect, but was so grateful for--like disposable razors, some leftover sparkling water from a previous guest, scissors, eggs, etc).
The place was clean, but like "my best friend is staying over clean" not "my mother-in-law is coming, let's hire professionals" clean. Lots of dust, some toilette uncleanliness, and leftover takeout in the fridge. Hey, I'm down to eat separately packaged foods and was praising the powers that be for those eggs, but leftover takeout?
Getting in was really easy thanks to the detailed instructions. Checking out was another matter. The lockbox seemed stuck on the last number and after 10 minutes of fighting with it I texted the host' contact number. They told me to just squeeze the two parts together because it does that sometimes. Easy fix and not a big deal...so I'm not sure why they don't just replace the lockbox or put that in their instructions.
Also, when I stayed there it was unseasonably warm and the swamp cooler they had really was not cutting it. Again, this wouldn't be a thing Id mention if it weren't for the fact that the fan in the living room didn't work and appears not to have worked for a while (based on other reviews) and that only two of the many windows opened. Well, there were the windows in the kitchen, they opened, but I didn't want to undo the ziplock bag rig they'd MacGyvered to keep them shut (no security worries as there are metal grates outside of the window)
The place is really cool and conveniently located. I just think based on the other ratings and the price my expectations were higher. I'm not trying to tag on the host or the condo--it's all accurately described, I just hope I can help others by providing more details so their expectations match what they're getting.
