Welp, this place is woefully unacceptable for most.
After living there for a month, where roommates, neighbors, and the host himself blared their radio all hours of the day, I would’ve expected more value for the money.
The bathroom was always wet, others left their genital rags dangling from the shower curtain, and the entire experience was rather unacceptable.
As I concluded my stay on Memorial Day weekend, I woke up to Mr. Aughty fixing his lawn. On a Sunday. Blaring music at 8am from his car, and soon thereafter, from his home. This was peculiar, since, his backyard wasn’t mowed upon returning from work at 8:30pm later that day. Better yet still, the neighbors were power washing their driveway when I returned from work relatively late in the evening. In the dark. We all know it is best to power wash in the dark.
Meanwhile, all of my white clothes were scuffed with Mr. Aughty’s dryer’s residues, rendering them useless.
There were also two memorials hoisted up to the fallen between the house and the Red Line during my stay. And they weren’t traffic-related deaths.
Also, my room was never addressed, regardless of the doorknob marker pleas. I left for three days, May 12th-15th, then again for another three days, May 19th-21st. Completely ignored. Essentially, I paid cleaning fees at a flophouse, only cleaned thereafter.
Most importantly, the night I returned after the Memorial Day Weekend debacle, the house was 82 degrees, later reaching a high of 85 degrees. I felt warm and cozy after a long day at work - after being awoken at 8am on a Sunday.
Upon complaining to AirBnB, and asking Mr. Aughty for some kind of refund or compensation for the final three days where the house temperature was above 80 degrees, this coward had the audacity to admit he knew the thermostat was incorrectly set. However, he is also a liar in the fact that I corrected the settings, but no air conditioning came through the vents. Just dry, regular air.
If you enjoy being asked for cigarettes, genital rags in the restroom, and being wakened all hours of the night to random beats from the owner - or street side - this is the spot.
Otherwise, spend the extra $200.00 more to be closer to the city.
