We had a really disappointing stay here. - The apartment had an overwhelming smell of stale cigarettes.
- The toilet was clogged when we arrived. (We were able to fix it.)
- There are no blinds or shades on one of the windows in the back bedroom. The street lights at night and sun in the morning make this a very bright room, so it was very difficult to sleep (or change clothes).
It should be noted that there is no living room or place to hang out - you open the apartment door directly to a room that has a bed in it, then there’s a couch in the hallway, then there’s a bedroom. Although the listing says there’s a dedicated workspace, there is not. There’s a desk in the bedroom but no chair.
I messaged Robert to see if they had a blanket or something we could put over the window for some privacy/light barrier and if they had a fan so we could air out the place from the cigarettes. He said he would have someone over to resolve the issue but nobody came.
There’s also a cleaning fee of $150 and a “service fee” of $78, so two nights at a rate of $200 cost $692 (with taxes). You’d definitely expect shades for that price! My clothes smelled like cigarettes when I got home.
However, if you’re into not sleeping at night and stale cigarettes, it is a good location and easy check in.
