Checked out after one night of a planned four-night stay, and here is why:
First, this tiny, musty, dusty, and humid studio apartment is located in an unfinished basement in the East Garfield Park neighborhood. Before getting into the particulars of the unit, I strongly suggest you Google “East Garfield Park” vs. relying upon the given description.
Second, the apartment looked and smelled as though it was in need of a thorough cleaning and HVAC specialist for de-humidifying / air-exchange purposes: Beyond the fact that the sheets provided to cover the fold out beds smelled especially musty, there was visible mold in the bathroom. (N.B., My spouse had an allergic reaction to the air quality in this place, which is the main - but not the only - reason we left hastily).
Third, the larger of the two couches does not covert into a double bed, but into a wide twin at best: This was very uncomfortable for my spouse and I, who are two average-sized adults.
Fourth, although the host appears to have changed the particulars of his listing to reflect the fact that the only parking available is on the street and NOT on the premises (N.B., this fact was not disclosed on the listing a couple of weeks ago, when we chose to rent this unit), the listed amenities still include “free parking on premises”: Please be advised that this is NOT the case.
Fifth, the term “designer apartment” – whether intentionally or not – is incredibly misleading: This is more of a hostel-type abode, which is fine, as long as you let the potential renter know. Above and beyond the visible mold caked along the wall behind the plastic bathroom baseboards (which are coming apart and should be fixed prior to renting this place to anyone, imho), the floors are unfinished, cracked, and discoloured to the point where they look very dirty in some areas.
Yes, I do have photos...
