I was so excited about this stay, but unfortunately it was not what I expected. After receiving the address from host I googled the location and it did not look like a safe location. I also explained that it was a shooting near location and sent article to host. The host literally sent me an article of a shooting in my hometown explaining that a shooting can happen anywhere. But when you are from out of town and unfamiliar with area, the last thing you want to worry about is your safety. The host explained that the area has been updated and pics online was from two years ago so I decided to stay. When I arrived, the location was not as bad as google. You can definitely tell they are working on upgrading neighborhood, but it’s not the best. The location is a triplex. Easy access with code entry for front and apartment door. Immediately walking in you smell a mold smell. The smell subsides as you enter apt but you can definitely still smell it. Host did say that he will send someone to spray apt for smell but it did not get rid of mold smell completely. The place is misleading from pictures. The place looks immaculate from pictures. In reality, you can tell they tried to renovate an old location, but it still needs additional work. You will find rusted areas throughout apt. The freezer rack is rusting. Apt needed a deep clean. Artificial plants were dusty and had spider webs. Furniture need cleaning. Floors and baseboards needed deep cleaning. Bed is on floor so it needed a deep clean. The sheets and comforter was not clean and pillows had a smell. Throw blanket on sofa had a smell as well. Shower water did not get hot and there were bugs in tub area. Vents were extremely dusty. Neighborhood is somewhat noisy. I was not comfortable, did not sleep, and didn’t continue my stay. The interior design of the apt is stylish and coffee area is stunning. But the great design is overlooked due to the cleanliness issue. Host will respond quickly, but could not help with my concern because I was simply uncomfortable with my stay. I wanted to love this place so bad. It just needs more attention to detail and a deep cleaning. Pros..stylish, have Netflix, and near convenience store.
