I had many issues during my stay with most of these being related to the listing and lack of information. This listing is actually a bedroom in an apartment that has 3 other bedrooms and a “property manager” that lives in the living room. Marian was not there upon arrival but had her “property manager” there, which was never listed or mentioned prior to arriving. I never met Marian during my entire stay.
The photos are not completely accurate as there is a bed and divider in the living room. This listing mentions that there is no smoking in the “House Rules”, but another one of her listings for this apartment says that the property is smoking friendly which was very inaccurate. The biggest issue with this was that the smoke detector in my bedroom, the hallway, and the living room did not working creating a very dangerous situation if a fire broke out. The air conditioning did not work in this unit as the return vent (shown in the listing photos) was filthy and the air filter in it looks like it was not changed in months. I contacted Marian about this and asked for her to fix this or a fan. She offered a fan but I was not brought until the third night I was staying there. There was also no hand soap or paper towels anywhere in the unit. Lastly, there was old cat litter behind the desk in the bedroom that I stayed in.
There is another review on one of her other listings that mentions many of the same issues that I ran into. I reached out to Marian about the AC issue but other things such as the “property manager”, other bedrooms, lack of working smoke detectors, etc. would not be able to be addressed during my stay. I would beware when booking any of Marian’s listings as all of her listings are bedrooms in this building with similar units on the first and third floor. Overall, the listing was extremely filthy and the listing was very inaccurate. I would be very careful about booking this unit and know that this is a more complete picture of what to expect upon arrival.
