Neiman Marcus location, Goodwill-inspired interior!
This condo is 1-2 blocks from all the action. Unfortunately, the interior and host communication was equivalent to being 50 miles away.
Issues: terrible check-in instructions and poorly lit address; worthless host communication; very poor kitchen quality; carelessly decorated.
I arrived at 10pm, which is within their check-in time, but of course dark in the winter. The instructions to find the door were useless, spent 30 minutes looking all over trying to find the right door. Would have to find a hotel for the night and pay $2-300 if I couldn't find it. Called both host contacts and went straight to voicemail. Left voicemails and sent texts. ZERO response until the next day. Thankfully I found the front door but the address was literally made with a label maker and posted on the door... but behind the screen door- invisible. What a joke, waste of time, and a really bad way to start my vacation.
Then there's the interior. Firstly, the linoleum was peeling away and just hanging off the side of the countertop . Secondly, the microwave and toaster oven were straight out of a college dorm. Not Ivy League, I'm talking the kind of public state college that doesn't have a football team. The microwave was red plastic, the oven stainless steel, and neither had a cord long enough to reach the outlet that worked. They would reach the outlet that didn't work, but, well, that doesn't really matter much. You actually had to pick one up and move them around to use, an issue which could be remedied with a $5 extension cord. The utensils and cups weren't clean. The kitchen garbage bin was about 2-gallon with a 10-gallon bag inside. The light bulbs were military grade interrogation-room bright. Lots of ants.
It was just a joke- you can tell when someone doesn't care about your experience. I'm not asking for a chocolate mint on my pillow or a sea turtle made from a towel, but this place doesn't even come close!
