This place is filthy, unsafe, has no temperature control, window does open, and host is unresponsive.
The host is unresponsive. I tried to reach the host multiple times. There was no bedding available for the sofa bed. I contacted him a week ago to let him know that I would need bedding for the sofa bed, and I contacted him twice that via the app and his phone. I slept on the bare leather futon/couch (not the comfy white one pictured) with my robe as a blanket.
Aside from this, the unit is filthy. None of the rooms appear as pictured- much of the furniture has been replaced. The most offensive is the misrepresentation of the patio- it was the reason I chose this place over all others available in Denver. White couches? Nope. The porch is pictured at comfortable and stylish. Both are missing from the porch now.
There is no temperature control or ventilation in the basement unit either. The unit smells stale and I can’t open the only window because a steel grate is in the way. One vent in the bedroom- controlled in the main house upstairs- was covered with cardboard and taped up.
Luckily, I thought, there was at least a fan for me in the living room… But in the morning, I discovered that there was exposed insulation, located less than 2 feet from it! So all night I had been blowing insulation particles at the sofa bed that I was sleeping on.
It is clear that this place has seen better days. I’m surprised so many of the other reviews are so “nice”. If you are paying good money for a place and it is misrepresented, you should say so instead of focusing on the positive- you can get a great location anywhere.
