To say we were disappointed is an understatement.
The area we were in felt very unsafe. The apartment is completely gated off and we had a hard time figuring out exactly how to get in. The owner is correct parking is not easy as it is a first come first serve. Getting the in the gate had its own challenges. The first thing that happened was people on the other side of the fence started yelling at us and were drunk sitting on the bus bench next to the entry gate to the building. Not safe for a group if women in our opinion.
Note please read and ask the owner questions ahead of time. They have "Noise" monitors in you apartment. We got in pretty late. (We were a party of 6) we didn't have any music playing and no TV on and we receive a message from the owner stating, he received a complaint about our noise levels.
Remind you this apartment says it could host up to 14. When I told him we were not being loud he said his Noise level monitors said we were! (Later after talking to another guest, they told us they received the same text from the owner.) I did complain at that time about the people on the street and the owner came back to me and stated he had checked the cameras and we had more people then the reservation stated and it would be an extra charge. When I looked up this apartment it showed it would hold our party with the beds and baths. (Shows it holds 14 ) When I booked it somehow it reverted to just me staying there. (Not sure why one person would need a 4 bedroom apartment but..) After several text message late at night from the owner I told him I felt like he was harassing us because we complained and if we had to pay more we would find another place to stay. He stopped texting and didn't respond to that. He sent me a party number adjustment to sign. Not a friendly welcome. I was bugged this was how my first night of our trip was fighting with the owner.
After the back and fourth we finally went to bed. NOT to sleep though. THE TRAIN! The tracks back the entire length of the back side of the apartment and is soooo loud. The owner even leaves bottles of ear plugs in the bathrooms. It was a horrible first night.
Then the apartment.. The main living room has bean bags which looked cool in the picture but to sit in them felt like sitting in the ground. They are old and need more stuffing added.
The beds do NOT have fitted sheets and the flat sheets you sleep on slide so you end up sleeping on a matress cover. It was weird. You have to sleep between two flat Sheets, then a blanket then another flat sheet. The linens looked old and had some stains in them.
The bathroom tubs were gross and looked like mold is growing in it. The shower curtains were stained with red rust at the bottom of them.
We ran out of hot water.
The heater needed a code to adjust it, we were not provided that until we complained about it being so cold.
The kitchen was nice.
The place overall needed good clean. The house does not reflect what the picture show as far as cleanliness.
oh and it sounded like a rodent lives in the walls as well.
We finished our stay because I didn't want to lose over $2600 that we had paid but it was not worth the money and I felt like if I complained I would have been harassed more. It really is not a place I would recommend. I hated needing three different codes just to get in late at night and I hated being watched through all the cameras (They are outside in the trees too) and the noise monitor thing is ridiculous.
I would not book here again or with the property management company that was running it.
