Pros: This unit is very up to date and modernized; it is very cozy for just two people. I enjoyed how tucked away it is. The neighborhood is located in a very convenient area and is very quiet so that was a plus. The unit was very clean and the bed is very cozy and comfy. The shower was amazing, the water pressure, spacing and settings are a plus.
Cons: The listing was not up to date or was missing information. There was no welcome basket.
1: The unit utilizes a Nest thermostat. With that, it seemed to only be motion censored and must be connected to wifi in order to change settings. The Nest is already set for only (4) hours of air and (45) minutes of heat. So; it made the unit very uncomfortable at times and caused us to wake up often in the night because the temperature may have dropped outside and it was really cold or it got really stuffy and hot.
2: The unit is missing one of the main amenities that it offered. The wifi did not work the entire stay (4 days).
Because everything in the home needs wifi, we weren’t able to watch tv or connect with our phones. I reached out to let the host know and he indicated that the wifi information had been updated so he gave it to us. Once we tried the new password, it still did not work. It caused us to try and stay out majority of the time because we could not come back to any entertainment, just silence. I had to reach out to the host almost daily because the wifi was not working. I asked could he reset it or anything but I didn’t not receive a response.
3: Many previous reviews did not mention parking; but it was a nightmare. The street is very crowded and there is literally nowhere to park. Each spot required a parking permit in which, we did not have. The other spots that are on a connecting street are pay to park but the issue is they only allow two hours max. The listing stated that there was free parking available but there wasn’t. There is one parking spot that is used for the unit which is located in the back alley way. I had to contact the host in order to get details about it and the fee that came with it.
4: The host is delayed in responding. I reached out to the host a week before my trip just as a courtesy to ask about parking because I was a bit confused based off the listing. The listing stated “free street parking” but in the details/house manual section it listed “parking for $30 a night.” I had to keep texting the host almost daily for information and because he is delayed in his responses, it got a bit aggravating. I would have liked for my stay to be hassle free and have all the information I needed up front or before I checked in, in the event things changed.
Overall it was a good stay but it was just too much of a hassle for certain things.
