The Pros and Cons:
Pros:
1. It is next to public transportation.
2. Kevin was a great host and very easy to communicate with. He also allowed us to check in early from our red eye flight the night before. We were so grateful for that!
Cons:
1. It is next to public transportation. In my opinion, this is a rough area.
2. The entire apt desperately needs a deep clean, reorganization and update. The apt. was tidy enough but there was clutter everywhere. The kitchen drawers were disorganized and messy, crumbs in them, rickety shelves and cabinets - old. There was a used sponge left on the sink for us and days old and dried coffee grounds/filter still in the coffee maker. The bathroom cabinets were filled with half empty bottles of ? and so disorganized. The closet had christmas decorations in it with limited usuable space. We also ran out of toilet paper and instead of dropping some off, we were told we could go to the 'corner store' and buy more.
3. Parking: there are 3 units with 4 parking spaces. Kevin asked that we only have 1 car due to the limited space (we complied), however it appears others did not as there was not parking for us on one of the days. The ads says there's street parking but we did not feel street parking a safe alternative for our rental car.
4. The ad also says it sleeps 10-12 however, the kitchen has chairs/table for 4 and the living room (which is at the opposite side of the apt.) also has seating for 4. How do 10-12 people socialize here?
5. I could have been more amiable to all these limitations if the unit rented for $200-$300/night but for close to $500+/night, this was a poor value.
Wish I had more positives to say and I try to stay away from writing negative reviews but I thought these comments had to be voiced so subsequent guests can make an informed decision.
