When i first arrived to the door of the apartment, i was met by the neighbor? who told me there was a special trick to opening the lock key box and what the code was (though i knew and it was included in the listing). She said “oh look at the puppy!” then opened the box and left.
I went to the bathroom immediately upon entering the apartment and was already greeted by a message from the host asking me for a $100 dog deposit for the dog i already listed on the reservation and paid for. honestly, this left a bad taste in my mouth for the whole trip. i felt like i was being watched.
the parking is “free,” but first come first serve and you have to move every two or more hours depending on the side of the street and the day. so having to be hyper vigilant to this detail made it hard to feel relaxed on this stay.
the couch was much more comfortable than the beds. the sheets felt like dollar store table cloth with that texture of fuzz and slight stick. they were awful. and also smelled like other people.
after the way i was greeted, i got paranoid and thought about taking photos of some of the damage i noticed in the apartment to cover my back. things like punch holes in the door and ripped hooks off the bathroom wall could have been easily placed on a guest. this isn’t something i would normally worry about but again the initial interaction wasn’t great.
in her “manuel” instead of informing you of how to use things like the intercom and a/c, she kindly provides you with the wifi password and a demand not to eat in her beds. there were marks on the sheets showing someone must have already…
she seems to allot one roll of toilet paper per guest.
oh, and there’s no laundry pods as far as i could tell, but there were many other household cleaning products.
