I'll start with the GOOD: Josh's place is located in a nice area, with easy access to the park and local hospitals. The house is well kept and the appliances are newer. The apartment has good light and is thoughtfully setup up, the furniture is a bit worn/stained (to be expected for a rental). The chocolates and wine were a very nice touch!
The BAD: The one issue I had upon arrival was the fridge/freezer was off and closed up. I could smell something off when I first stepped inside and suspected it may just be the trash. Not a big deal, I checked the trash, no smell and proceeded to put away my grocery items. I realized the fridge was off and was warm inside, as was the freezer. With quick communication with Jay, I was able to turn it back on. This wasn't a huge deal, things happen. The true issue was the appliance had been off and closed long enough for a significant amount of black mold to grow inside. It was in the drawers, the ice trays, the door and lining the bottom of the freezer. After a long day of traveling, I had thawing groceries, I opted to clean the fridge so it was safe to use. I didn't really have a choice. I decided not to clean the freezer and lost some of my frozen items. Although Jay was quick to respond to my text and help me turn the fridge on, there wasn't even an apology for the mold, the fact that I had to clean it or the fact that I lost groceries (average fridge takes 24 hours to reach temperature). This was certainly frustrating and I am disappointed in the way the issue was handled. I cannot say that I would stay again, I would be concerned that if there were an issue, it would be handled in this same manner.
