This was one of the worst Airbnbs I have stayed at. I wish I had continued to stay at my hotel that was cheaper. I agree with a lot of things that were listed below in the previous review, here's what I have to add:
The place: The pictures posted of this property are extremely staged and although I understand that is usually how professional pictures go...this place was a total let down. The difference between the pictures and staying at the actual place was huge. The place is very small and not as spacious as the pictures show. The place is extremely old and dingy. The furnishings are beyond outdated, there is barely any light in the place (a bunch of old lamps around the place that provide barely any light), so staying there at night and actually enjoying it is not possible. It feels like you're staying at a motel from the 1960s- the carpets, sofas, pillows, sheets, towels, furniture all seem as though they have not been replaced for many, many years they are all very musty and you do not feel like sitting on or using any of these. The bed frame doesn't even fit the mattress, the mattress is bigger than the bed frame and not secured properly. Imagine paying over a $1000 for a 4 night stay for a motel 6 feel...a total ripoff. All the reviews about how the building is very old, were right. The basement parking lot has a trash room that reeks, and the laundry machines that are provided are very old and ruined our clothes while washing them. Although the view is nice for the unit, the screen doors are broken and the balcony is very small (maybe 4 inches in width) and inaccessible.
Cleanliness: The place was not as expected or as pictured. There was a huge spot of mold in the sink, it was disgusting to look at. The kitchen cabinets were all chipped. There is no fan in the bathroom, so I'm sure there is a bunch of mold in the walls. There is no curtain for the bathroom window, so your neighbors can see everything. The shower is rusty and old and there are spots of mold, overall not clean.
Basic Features: Basic features that are expected at an Airbnb are not provided. The TV is small (about 25 inches) no Netflix, Hulu, not a smart TV, can't connect your phone, etc. The kitchen barely had any spices to cook with (salt, pepper, thyme)...I've stayed in Airbnbs before where they provide you with honey, peanut butter, they go above and beyond to make you feel like you're at home and want to cook at the AirBnB. We didn't cook once at this place. It would have costed more to get all the ingredients than eat out. There's no one at the front desk to help you out. There's supposedly security on the property but they only arrive after 10:30pm...so if you have a noise complaint or need any help it is very hard to get someone on the property. The host is only affiliated with the real estate company that rents out the places.
Host: Previous review said the host was rude, and I totally agree and felt the same when I spoke with him over the phone. The host is seriously trying to make money and is not accommodating at all. We stayed for 4 nights/5 days and wanted a late check out, the only thing he offered us (after multiple messages back and forth) was 1 hour later for free, or for an $80 fee we could check out later in the day...although on the messages he stated our room was vacant for the next day and there was no booking for our room for the next day. He doesn't go above and beyond in the slightest bit. We wanted to have a place to store our bags before check-in and he claimed the lobby could not hold our bags...we ended up leaving our bags for 6 hours at our previous hotel accommodation where they didn't charge us a penny to hold our bags for that long. There's no parking information provided although there's free parking across the street until 10 am- this is a really easy detail to include in the check-in instructions but he does not. We arrived late and had a hard time figuring out where to park, and had a helpful neighbor tell us parking was free until 10am near the park.
Overall: if you're paying this much, don't stay here. There are many hotels that you can book for less and will treat you better and you won't feel like you're staying at a Motel 6.
