Before you read ahead, please keep in mind that I've never written a negative review. I've never had to. This will be my first.
Nat's place is great in terms of the relative size of the apartment and its location. Much of everything else leaves a A LOT to be desired, so much so that I'd like make sure that the next guests demand that these issues be attended to. If you are a stickler for cleanliness, look elsewhere. The fridge was visibly dirty, sticky, and emitted a foul odor. There was a loaf of bread sitting in the cupboard that was covered in mold. When I say "covered," I mean entirely coated in thick, hairy blue-green mold and liquefying at the bottom of the bag. When we threw it out, it kicked up a large cloud of spores and had half of our party of eight dealing with allergies throughout the stay. The bathroom had a used razor in the tub. There was also a half-used bar of soap still in the dish. The vents, floors, windowsills are all covered in dust and hair. We suspected that the space hadn't been cleaned between guests. Only the bedsheets had be changed.
This next bit is important. The thermostat is locked behind a plastic case. You do not have access to it. There was no way for us to adjust the temperature during what was one of the hottest days of the summer last Friday. The thermostat is supposedly set to a "range" between 70-74 degrees, but given that it's a top floor apartment, it felt much higher than that and took all night to cool down. We had to leave the apartment after checking in and did not return until after sunset. The a/c is set to turn on automatically, so the fan would only turn on for a few minutes at a time to little effect. There is no ventilation in the main area otherwise, aside from a ceiling fan in the dining room. If you have a disability, are elderly or sensitive to heat then this will not be a comfortable stay for you, unless you're into sweating in bed.
Lastly, this is a party building. The listing does not suggest that it is. We don't mind that our neighbors throw parties, but there should be some acknowledgement in the listing that the space has been or can be used this way. There is also an added security concern since the front door was propped open by a Powerade bottle all weekend. Every time we would close it, we'd find it propped open once we returned.
In sum, this is a big space in a great location, but some real dealbreakers in terms of cleanliness, temperature, and security.
