All in all we enjoyed our stay.
Pros: The place was extremely cute, in a good location, well equipped, quite clean, free parking, comfortable bed and twin mattress.
Cons out of Amanda’s control: barking dog down the hallway, very high pitched ring in the mornings (not sure how to explain it), and we were missing a couple of items as it seemed a guest walked off with them, and we think the sofa bed was a little smelly and sloped.
When we opened the sofa bed on the first night, there was a faint smell of cigarette smoke and it sloped pretty heavily. We weren’t sure if the smell was the bed or people outside, but one of our guests didn’t show, so we decided to use the twin mattress instead for our third guest. We closed up the bed and didn’t use it again. All of the above wasnt anything we couldn’t handle.
I knocked off one star for one reason that I just can’t stop thinking about. As I mentioned above, we were missing a couple of items and I messaged Amanda on Friday afternoon about one of the items and Friday night around midnight about another. No confirmation was made about the items being dropped off.
We woke up on Saturday morning at 830am to a random man without a uniform in the apartment living room. Luckily my sister was already awake and dressed and asked if she could help him. I was awake by this point and also walked into the living room.
He made it VERY clear that he had been knocking on the door to drop the missing items off and proceeded to be incredibly rude about receiving a message at 1am. A few other stern words were exchanged and he left. My stomach was in knots.
I’m not sure how we didn’t hear him knocking and I am thankful that he made the trip, but that absolutely did not give him the right to enter the apartment and close the door behind him while 2/3 women were still asleep and not expecting anyone. He was obviously harmless, but waking up to an unknown man’s voice with an agitated tone in what I thought was a safe space is not how I expected to start a girls’ weekend.
As I was messaging Amanda to explain what had just happened, I received a message from her saying he was going to stop by. More warning would have been appreciated, but he should have never let himself in. Dropping by the door would have sufficed.
If it wouldn’t have been for that situation, the place would’ve received 5 stars. Hoping he was just having a bad day and had a lapse in judgement.
