Unfortunately, we didn’t have the best stay. The apartment had not been properly cleaned and felt a bit neglected with many of the walls scuffed and paint chipping. There were a few issues we faced during our stay that ultimately made us decide to cut our stay short. These issues included no smoke / carbon monoxide detector (just a hole in the ceiling with exposed wires), lots of dust under the bed and couch, stained oil on the pots and pans, and rust on the toilet handle and dishwasher. We tried to do our own deep cleaning but unfortunately found black mold in the toilet and washer that made us choose to find other accommodations.
While we decided this apartment wasn’t for us, Julian was really responsive and helpful when it came to trying to find solutions, including coming to install the smoke detector and offering to replace the moldy part of the washer and rusted toilet handle. He was a really nice host and we appreciated his help. This apartment has a lot of potential it just needs a little TLC.
