I’ll start with the positives. This location is great. It’s very close to restaurants and a park and the train. Secondly, the host is very responsive. We have a family of 6 so it was difficult to find somewhere to fit all of us so this would’ve been perfect. We didn’t mind it seems bare bones and minimalist but there were lots of issues:
-When we arrived we were told we couldn’t check in until 5:30pm because there was an issue with the cleaning. It was no big deal because we didn’t get into town much sooner than that.
-The air conditioning didn’t work. The host told us to re set the breakers which did fix the issue on one of the wall units for the first night we stayed. After the first night, there continued to be issues with the air. The living room unit began leaking water. In the middle of the second night all units stopped working entirely no matter what we did. Most windows didn’t have screens so we didn’t want to leave the windows open plus it was a very hot couple days.
-There is no sofa bed like the listing says. It’s just a sofa which is very flimsy.
-The fitted sheet came off one of the beds in the corner. I noticed blood was on the exposed area of the mattress. We purchased a mattress protector for the bed and when we removed the entire sheet, the mattress was covered in urine stains and more blood stains. There was also a pillow without a pillow case that had blood on it.
-The kitchen floor is squishy and uneven and water kept leaking up from the floor.
We originally planned to stay 5 nights and left after the second night. The host was accommodating to help try to fix the air issue but overall, there wasn’t much that could be remedied to improve our stay.
It was requested of me to not leave a review. I imagine I’m not the only customer who has experienced these things. Replacing a mattress and putting a $40 mattress cover over it would go a very long way. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you’re actually really desperate. The host did partially refund us however we were more interested on having a place to stay but instead were left scrambling to find another place.
