The place is beautiful in a cool older building. It was in a great, safe location very close to everything. It was much larger than expected. We had tons of room. The entire space was decorated very well and it was super clean. The beds were comfortable with nice linens and plenty of pillows. I would definitely stay here again but there are a few things that need improvement to make it exceptional.
1) Communication was absolutely non-existent. We messaged twice through the app and once through text message and never got a reply. (A maintenance man did show up 3 days in after we extended a night and I inquired again).
2) The A/C doesn’t work very well. We were there during a massive heat wave the temp always hovered around 77. I don’t know what was the deal, but I maintenance guy finally came by and said someone would be back to fix it. They never came. Really these first 2 issues are the main reason I’m not a million percent satisfied bc the space is great.
3) The common areas did smell like weed at times. Personally, it wasn’t a big deal for me since it was only while passing through but some might have a problem with that.
4) The TV would not connect to the internet bc you couldn’t get to the splash page to sign in to the network. If you have a droid, I think you might be able to connect it. Either way, it would’ve been nice to have the TV but wasn’t a huge deal. Again, this is something we contacted the host about and got 0 response.
5) A few more items to cook with are really needed. At the minimum these items should be added- oven mitt, pizza pan, larger skillet, larger pan and a can opener.
Overall, we felt that we got a great deal and really enjoyed how nice and large the space was. Had the host just communicated with me at all, I probably wouldn’t have anything negative to say. Maybe they were just busy… I don’t know but 5 nights with no communication (other than the pre-planned, scripted messages) is not okay. This doesn’t seem to be the norm according to other reviews.
