We really wanted to like this place but too many things went south during our stay to leave a positive review.
First the good. Al is a very nice guy and communication was mostly good. He is very responsive to texts. Al was there to check us in and show us around the apartment. Sadly, that’s where the good report ends.
Things that weren’t so good… pretty much everything else in the listing. The security is questionable - half the nights of our stay the guards were not present and the gate was just up for anyone to drive in. During the weekend this provided ample opportunity for people to come in and party. Fine - I like parties too.
The listing advertises pools and hot tub. There is even a fitness center. Also great - if we were given access which we weren’t.
Inside the apartment a lot of things could be replaced. The few pots and pans are so beat up as to be questionably usable. The dishwasher wouldn’t drain and overflowed all over the floor on day 1. There was no mop do we cleaned up with towels. He waited 2 days to come fix it. There were only 4 total towels for 4 people and two were now soiled so we shared the remaining two. There was a washer and dryer but no detergent for laundry. When we finally got some and put in a load of wash we thought the thing was going to explode it was so loud. Don’t plan laundry while you sleep. And the dryer took two full cycles on high to dry a load.
I mentioned there were 4 of us - we were there for 5 nights. We were provided 3 rolls of TP… with two women, that math doesn’t work. After the dishwasher incident we asked for additional TP, laundry soap and paper towels (there were none of those to start our stay.). To Al’s credit he provided them. 2 days after our request we got 3 additional rolls TP, 1 roll of paper towels and a tiny 10 oz bottle of Tide. 4 people, 5 days and half the towels dirty from cleaning the floor and we get less detergent than a can of soda. About enough for three loads.
Let’s see what else… oh the master bath drains very slowly so there was always standing water while showering and a ring when it finally drained. Also, the thermostat was locked for both heating and cooling unless it was colder than 58 or warmer than 85. We were here in November, the nights were chilly. And 58 is not a warm interior temp. We were in jackets and under blankets inside the apartment.
I really don’t like leaving negative reviews, but we spent over $1100 for this stay so my expectations were set appropriately. I don’t think they were too high. We were barely provided basic necessities and the listing advertised things we weren’t provided. It wouldn’t take much effort for Al to turn this place around but as is I would not remotely recommend.
