When exiting the elevator on the 3rd floor, you are immediately taken back by the smell of pot in the building. The unit was clean. The garbage can and toilet paper dispenser were broken and didn’t work well. The kitchen construction was cheap, you could see exposed plywood at the end of the cabinets. The outlet in the bathroom also didn’t work. The outlet did not have the safety button usually found when they are near water, so that was concerning. So without that outlet working, the only other mirror I could plug in nearby was in one of the bedrooms. Luckily it was our bedroom because the other bedroom didn’t have a mirror at all. The mirror hung about 5 feet at the highest. So… I couldn’t even see my head. This made it very uncomfortable to do my hair. There was also not comfortable seating for four people. There was a small couch, a wire chair and a desk chair. This made things awkward when we were trying to play cards.
As far as parking, the host sent a note that said parking was hard to find and suggested some apps to look for parking. We pulled up to the building and saw a sign that said 6 Hamilton Place reserved parking and an available spot. We noticed around the city that there were several signs that said reserved permit parking. We knew not to park there because we didn’t have a permit. But the sign at 6 Hamilton Place was misleading. We were towed. When I contacted the owner about this she said if there was a sign for everything it would be a paragraph long. I thought that she was very condescending and extremely rude. she also pointed out that only three of 7000 renters had issues with parking. I find that very hard to believe. Still confused by the signs meaning, I asked her what it meant. She immediately replied with check out instructions. I was shocked at the rudeness. She also did not reply when I messaged about two hours before checking to see if we were able to get into the unit a early since they sent the code via email. We never got an answer. I would have expected an “I’m sorry, I didn’t see this message until too late”. The locations was good, but I would not book with Brian and Heather again.
