There were some nice pieces but all-n-all we did not have a good experience.
We originally booked for 3nights and ended up leaving after the 1st night due to multiple issues. The primary issue was the bedding. We found the bed to be incredibly uncomfortable. We could literally feel the springs just by lightly pressing hands into the mattress. Ive never had any back problems before, but i was in so much pain I got up and moved to the sofa bed in the middle of the night (but that wasn’t much better).
We were disappointed upon arrival because the house didn’t offer “on premise parking” as noted on the listing. There was only street-parking a few houses down, and the neighborhood didn’t feel all that safe so we didn’t like having to park further away. The walkway to the apartment was narrow and littered with old furniture, pipes sticking out and overgrown weeds. The bottom of the front door frame was broken with sharp pieces. There were some nice touches in the apartment with hotel style lamps, towels, linen, hygiene products, a spa tub and a nice large lot next door for pets to play. They had the AC on so it was nice and cool when we arrived. The apartment was old in general and in need of some maintenance (broken tile& blinds, missing trim) which you can’t really see from the listing photos. There were other little issues like the coffee pot didn’t work, the bedroom TV was not working correctly, and the area rug was dirty/stained. There were also unforeseen repair issues. The water was turned off for most the morning because they were working on the main house and didn’t expect it to affect the apartment.
In the morning we contacted the host to cancel our remaining nights and we did not feel she was very understanding at first. We had to ask multiple times to assist with canceling and refunding the 2 remaining nights. They did end up accommodating our cancellation and refund, but it took a few hours, as the host was out of town and we had to coordinate with the host and Airbnb support team.
This property is close to shopping and restaurants. It definitely has potential to be lovely; it just needs a bit more TLC. We suggest updating the listing/photos to reflect the property more accurately.
