Unfortunately, this home did not meet our expectations. Anita was communicative and fixed some of the issues but the issues continued to arise and it was just so disappointing.
Positives- the home has a jetted tub and that was nice for warm evening baths. There is also extra bedding in the closets, which was appreciated.
Negatives-
- the home requires complete quiet as the neighbors are very sensitive to sound. The listing does not say this. This is an incredibly uncomfortable situation with a toddler.
-the immediate neighbor next door leaves daily at 6 am and their dog barks nonstop until they return. It’s a loud bark.
-the walls are so thin, you can hear the neighbors using the restroom in the middle of the night.
-the unit smells bad. There’s a stale, burned smell and it literally never leaves. We left the windows open and that didn’t help either
- I found burned pans in the cupboard (possibly the source of the smell). They were in a garbage bag and they were wet. They should have been located by the house cleaner. I told Anita about it and she brought more used pans, however, she left the smelly pans there.
-the couch broke. It was clear it had been previously repaired. It just fell over while we were seated. Super upsetting. Anita repaired it yet again, however, we were too nervous to use it after that
-there was a towel left in the closet. Hard to say if it was dirty or clean
-there are 2.5 flights of stairs to lug all your stuff up and when you get to the door, you’re met with a sign asking you to bring your stuff up “quietly”
-the bath tub seems to be off balance so there is toilet paper stuffed in both corners. It’s disgusting
-there are pigeons everywhere so the patio is entirely unusable. There’s poop on everything out there.
-the fridge has nothing. No condiments. No water. Nothing.
-there is no laundry soap and no lotion
-the main toilet broke our last day. I read the previous review and it appears it broke on their stay as well. They need to invest some more money into this place so these issues stop.
-there were not enough parking passes for us. I asked for more to have enough and was told that someone else must have taken more and they’re rationed by the state. We made do. I thought about it later, and she’d told me she had no one for a day between our stay and the next so there should have been no issue with giving us the parking pass we should have had to begin with.
- parking is difficult to find in the designated areas. If you park on the main road, you have to move the car very early.
