We had a fun vacation staying at this establishment. It is small but cozy. Although we had a great time, I would like to leave with some suggestions for the future.
Since there was no common-area air conditioning, our bathroom stayed at a whopping 80 degrees. This made doing hair/makeup/shower routine uncomfortable. No AC is not stated on the listing.
Just for confirmation purposes, what is stated on the listing word for word is: “Please note: Due to an extensive HVAC issues, our studios are being heater by space heaters until Spring 2022” - That entails heating, not AC.
The curtains in the bedroom are quite see through. The sun was my alarm clock at 6am every morning which was not ideal. A thicker/darker curtain would have made my overnights more enjoyable.
The freezer did not work. We had bought ice cream to store in there and it had completely melted.
The listing does not state the absence of an elevator. It states that this room particularly is on the fourth floor, but it in fact doesn't explain the four flights of stairs one will have to walk up with luggage and whatnot. My issue with this was the 80 degree common-area temperature. Walking up and down those stairs every time we left the apartment had us sweating without AC.
Listing wording: “Located on the 4th floor, the studio has a private (not shared) bathroom located across the hall.” - Therefore, lacking the words “walk up.”
My late checkout inquiry was denied although I could see on the Airbnb listing that no one else had booked that day that we were leaving.
The pictures on the Airbnb listing are not exact to what was in the room. The artwork in the listing is different from what was there on the wall. On our wall, there was artwork of a woman’s butt. There was also no full size mirror on the closet like the photos. And not that this was a big deal, but the bedside table and lamp were different from the photos as well, with no flower decor. I think this listing should be updated more accurately.
I asked the host if we could drop off our luggage at the apartment the first day we arrived because we had an early morning flight. That was not allowed. I was told there are no luggage storage areas on site where luggage drop off could be accommodated. But, with our own research, we found that the UPS Store that is connected to this building, in fact allows you to store your luggage. I know that this is considered separate from the property, but, I feel as though the host and staff could be knowledgeable regarding this to help their guests; considering that the buildings are connected, in addition to how common this problem is with travelers.
Therefore, if some of these tweaks were not present, our stay would have been fantastic.
