Pros:
- spacious
- most basic requirements met
- close to station
- gave a brand new brita filter at check-in
- extra bedsheets, towels, napkins
- furniture and appliances in very good condition
- laundromat with wash and fold is close by (not in building)
- Trader Joe’s is a short walk away
- great restaurants nearby such as Penelope
Cons:
- Internet drops connection intermittently
- multiple kitchen basics missing. Cooking utensils, oil, salt & pepper, etc. On request some cooking utensils were purchased and brought to AirBnB
- existing kitchenware was not washed enough to be considered “ready to use”
- no toilet paper holder at check-in, but one was installed in first “fix-up” visit during my stay
- multiple visits by property manager during my stay! most were at a different time than agreed upon or at a last-minute’s notice. One was even during my work call !
- communication with property manager could have been much more professional and hospitable
- no AC in bedroom which can get very stuffy in the summer. Bedroom door blocks AC in living room when open so the bedroom cannot get cooled. Property manager brought a fan on yet another visit, which was not sufficient to keep the bedroom cool at night during the summer
- floor in the living room is heavily slanted, but not that big of a deal for a few months stay
- no iron or hairdryer even though that’s mentioned in the listing. It may have been in the closet, see below about closet
- there is only one closet which is near the main entrance but it had an awful smell and was very dusty. I basically never opened it and it remained unused for the duration of my month stay
- rooftop not accessible during my stay. They did not mention that it was accessible in the listing but have a partial photo of it so want to be clear that it was not accessible in case you are taking this unit particularly for the rooftop photo.
I’ve left much more detailed feedback as a private review to the host and believe they will improve their preparation and communication for future guests
