Aref’s place was well located and having a designated parking spot was great. The unit itself had everything we needed for a quick one night stay, but there were a few drawbacks that would keep me from booking again. The noise from the street was extremely loud. The windows and walls are really thin, so you can hear street noise at all times. I could also hear the neighbors through the walls talking and worse, puking, from the other side of this bathroom until about 3 am.
I’m from a big city, so I’m used to city noise. I heard more sirens and speeding here than I do in my LA apartment. I think this unit could use some updated windows to help with the insulation and the bug issues we were dealing with. There were tiny gnats or mosquitoes in the unit when we arrived. Unclear if they were from gaps in the window or if they had been let in through the hallway when the cleaners were there. Aref’s communication seems to be automatic canned responses, so I wouldn’t say he’s the most communicative host.
Overall decent apartment if you’re just looking for something centrally located, but it was very much a style over substance situation in my opinion.
