I stayed in unit 1907. I have stayed in this building before, in 1909. The previous time I stayed the owner, Rafael, lived in one of the downstairs units. He has since moved out. The apartment is clean, located directly across the street from Loyola. You cannot ask for a better location. 1909 is nicer than 1907. However, 1907 has a better washing machine. There is parking but it cannot fit a truck of SUV. The apartment doors are key code opened, so check in is simple (this is important later). The internet is strong and Rafael is usually quick to respond and easy to communicate with.
However, this trip there was an incident that was unacceptable. Rafael messaged that pest control needed to access the apartment on Thursday. I had plans and was not sure if I could be there. I told him I was ok with him entering the apartment with the exterminator. I messaged him on Thursday to find out the time they would be there, but he never responded. I assumed that it was taken care of on Thursday when we were not in the apartment. I was up working most Thursday night and slept in on Friday. My husband left the apartment while I was sleeping. Therefore, the deadbolt was not locked. I awoke to a beep on my phone and knocking sound at 9:50am. I mistakenly assumed that it was my family. I got up to go to the door. I was not appropriately clothed. I heard the door open and a man speak. It was the exterminator. I told him not to come in, I was sleeping. I then went to get my phone and saw that at 9:49 Rafael messaged me to tell me that the exterminator was coming at 10:00. I put myself together and let the man in, he was very nice. He told me he was clear with Rafael that he would be there at 10 on Friday. Additionally, he promised to try and save the bees. I do not know if he got an eyeful, if he did he was a gentlemen and did not let on that he saw anything. I instantly let Rafael know how unhappy I was about the situation. The issue was not only that he did not give me adequate notice, but that he gave the entrance code to a third party, while I was staying there. Although the exterminator was nice, I no longer felt comfortable with my valuables being in the apartment and had to relocate them to my daughters apartment for the rest of the stay.
