This spot has strong pros and cons. It could be better if a guest just knew what they’re walking into. The main hallway that you use to get through to the staircase is jam packed with trash, wine bottles, a deep freeze, refrigerator and more. Getting thru with luggage or stroller is a challenge. The platform in front of the door has a mattress and more cluttering the area. The actual apartment that we stayed in is not shown in the gallery until the very end. I think the owner lives above the rented unit and uses pictures from his home to advertise a lesser apartment. The walls aren’t white, the furniture is stained cloth fabric, the shower isn’t the one shown and it has mold and the bedrooms have more furniture in than shown so it feels cluttered. It’s a bit grimy- overall clean but crumbs kind of anywhere that’s not topical. The drawer top isn’t on the drawer for flatware and has exposed nails out. Host seemed genuinely surprised that I realized it wasn’t the same place and said it was big and in nice neighborhood. Maybe it would’ve been fine if I knew what I was walking in to.
Pros: area is close to a lot. Love the neighborhood restaurants. The apt is large. Once we started communicating, host was attentive. TV was easy and connected to watching apps, window unit AC was nice
to have.
