BEWARE!!! Apartment is not as advertised-- pictures are highly misleading. Arrived to find an apartment that was in poor condition, walls were very dirty, front door of the unit was damaged had no lock [the door to the exterior did have a lock].
The entire apartment REEKED of stale cigarette smoke. When I brought it up with the host I was told that the smell was 'probably from the neighbors,' but the unit is on the second floor of a freestanding building so there aren't any neighbors! When I arrived every room had fans and air filters blowing, so I think this must be a known problem. Indeed, when I checked previous reviews on AIRBNB from 2018-2020, I noticed that a few other guests noted this problem.
Another concern I had is that the bed is metal, and under the metal bed legs were circular sticky traps that are used to catch BED BUGS. While I don't think there was an active infestation, at SOME POINT I think there was a bed bug infestation in the apartment... hence the traps and the metal bed [a metal bed is the only type they can't live in]. This really freaked me out... I had no desire to take the chance of bringing these home with me if some were still living in the apartment.
The pictures are highly misleading. What you don't see in the images:
1. Other than painted kitchen cabinets and vinyl floors, the apartment does not seem to have been renovated at all.
2. Entry staircase very dirty.
3. Walls scuffed and dirty.
4. Painted trim chipped throughout the unit [also seems to be painted with lead paint under existing paint, so these chips expose lead]
5. Some of the furniture in the listing is not actually in the unit [in particular the white recliner]
6. Door to unit is damaged-- it looks like someone tried to pry the door open with a crowbar at some point and it was patched with vinyl spackle.
I spent a total of 20 minutes in the apartment before deciding to leave and find another place to stay. The host agreed to a refund for the the last night [I had booked 3], but since I checked in a day late due to a delay [was traveling for work] I still had to pay for the first night and the second night... so I was still out several hundred dollars.
I would not recommend this place. I am not sure why there are so many positive reviews give the price and condition.
