Our hopes were high for this place and it came crashing down quickly. Things you should know before you book this place:
- it has two “bedrooms” but don’t expect any privacy because the walls are open the top 1/3. Literally open - no walls.
- the photos were taken when the place was new, several years ago. In reality, you should expect dingy white paint, damaged drywall in every other corner, a severely dented fridge, stained carpets in the hallway, and so on
- our mattress had a urine stain and reeked of pee. Katherine was kind and moved us to another unit for our second night but guess what? More urine. So. Incredibly. Gross.
- the location is great except for the fact that the alley behind, where the parking entrance is located, is very rough and there is heavy machinery beeping, grinding and buzzing all day as they’re building another building directly behind
- lots of credit to Katherine regarding communication. She was quick to reply to us.
This will be our last Airbnb for a while. If we’re going to spend $300/night (after all fees and taxes), it could have bought us a room at the Omni with just as much privacy, urine-free mattresses, and dinner included.
