The location of this property is second to none. Unfortunately, that's the only positive thing I have to say about this unit. Don't get me wrong, it was not a nightmare type of stay. It's just that the unit lacked some very simple things that would be easily addressed if the owner or manager ever stepped foot in the unit.
First, there is what would be described as a living area in this unit. Unfortunately, it is useless. There is a love seat that may quite possibly be the most uncomfortable thing I have ever sat on. It is clearly only there to add additional sleeping. Whenever we needed to sit down, my husband and I would end up sitting on the bed, which tends to get old pretty quickly on a 4 day trip. There is a mini fridge, but the ice maker does not work. The bedroom is very small as well. This unit had a porch off of the bedroom which was great. Unfortunately one lock on each of the doors didn't work, so never felt like our belongings were very secure when we ventured out into the quarter. There is also no dresser or cabinet for you to place your personal belongings if you are the type of person who likes to unpack your bag during your vacay (only one small closet in the front).
There are visible stains on the ceiling where a leak seems to have recently been, but the nasty dark sewer water stains remain. The toilet paper holder was coming off of the wall and the spindle would routinely fall out when trying to unroll the toilet paper. The AC unit is in the "living area", but the bedroom is towards the back of the unit. You will get some cold air, but the unit will cut on and off all night.
The bathroom fan also did not work and there are no windows. Rats seemed to have made a home at the base of the front door to the building. The common areas are generally not clean so I'm sure that doesn't help. So if you are looking for a unit in a great location with character, but willing to deal with some other things, this may be the place for you.
Some positives: Communication with the host was quick. Any message was answered within an hour. There were plenty of towels and toiletries in the bathroom. Not much noise from the outside, while you are sleeping (just the trash trucks).
