Like a number of other guests I have very mixed feelings about this place. I will list the pros and cons below so people can make an informed decision.
Cons:
- the shower barely worked. Washing & conditioning my hair usually takes 15 mins, due to the ridiculously low water pressure it took me 40 mins. I understand that water pressure can be challenging at old houses like this, but the hosts should have gotten a detachable shower head to compensate for the crappy pressure. As it was I could not properly clean my body, and it left me feeling really gross after staying 3 days (didn’t attempt shower after the first day).
- while the main areas were clean, there was a disgusting amount of dust / grime buildup along all the edges of the walls, and the window blinds. I have a dust allergy so this caused me to get bad allergies while there.
- almost all screens are ripped, so it made it hard to open windows in order to get some fresh air.
- the air conditioners in 2 bedrooms were quite weak, they need to be replaced.
- 3rd bedroom did not have air conditioning, which makes it uncomfortable to use that bedroom in the summer
Pros:
- the place is large for a city rental, would be good for a group (& affordable)
- the neighborhood is relatively quiet (would have been very quiet if it wasn’t for construction across the street)
- neighborhood seems safe and there is reasonable parking
- check in / check out was easy
- my contact (Freddy) was very nice over text and had a decent response time

This could be a decent place if the hosts hired professional cleaners to give the place a deep clean, replaced the air conditioning units, and fixed the water pressure (or replaced shower head to compensate). As the place is, however, I would not stay again.
