Pro’s:
-Easy entry from ground level
-bed pillows are comfortable
-bed linens are soft
-backyard was where we spent 90% of our stay
Con’s:
-difficult communication with owner
-sketchy encounters with other gusts having access to our unit + no explanation from owner
-two doors not pictured in listing: one connected directly to unit upstairs, one leading to a basement. Both taped shut with duct tape. Access to our unit felt unsafe. Security measures were a joke
-paper thin walls, floors and windows. You can hear every word, bodily noises, conversations on the streets.. highly disturbing for wfh and sleep
-couch (if you can even call it that) in the living area is outdoor furniture cushions. Very rough and uncomfortable.
-leg of the dining table is broken and unstable + broken dining chair leg
-backyard is much more overgrown with weeds and trees than photo shows, no outdoor dining area as listing says
-bed is hard as a brick
-the ac units produced a horrible smell
-we had an issue with the radiator producing a foul smell and the owner refused to wait to send maintenance crew until after we were done with a very important work call. 4 loud men attempting to get into the apartment spent 2 hours climbing into the crawl space under the bedroom making incessant noise and did not fix radiator
-when confronted about this issue, owner was incredibly rude and chose to harass us about our service animal (though his house rules do not list “no pets” and service animals are protected by Airbnb policy and ADA Federal law). When we stood our ground and reiterated our rights, he told us to leave the property and find somewhere else to stay. Direct discriminatory and illegal actions here.
Our stay was cut in half. Do not trust anything about this place. Do yourselves a BIG favor and look elsewhere.
