This place does NOT LOOK like the photos, it is on the bottom floor by the parking lot, very DARK, it smells MUSTY and MOLDY, the bathroom has NO VENT, we had NO HOT WATER for the first 2 days, followed by no water at all in the bathroom, the next day! The management told us it was a city issue and offered no compensation for this major inconvenience!
Almost all the DISHES and GLASSWARE were stained and DIRTY, neatly placed inside cupboards for some reason? The only one wine glass provided had LIPSTICK STAINS, which we left for them to see and took photos! The management offered to send a cleaning crew for a touch-up after, but upon arrival we had no choice, but to clean all the glasses, mugs, dishes, etc. we needed to use. All of the cooking pots and pans had an unhealthy coating or were completely scratched. The "silverware" was super cheap and flimsy, felt like plastic coated in cheap silver paint.
We payed a full price for 7 nights for what is listed as "enhanced clean" and private experience, none of which was delivered! One of us had to work remotely the entire time inside the apartment and having anyone come to touch up on cleaning, would have been very disturbing.
From the moment we entered, there was a HORRIBLE SMELL OF MILDEW throughout the apartment, which was not masked at all by the cheap, chemical air-freshener plugged into the wall. We all got terrible headaches from this awful smell of that permeated everything inside the apartment.
The photos posted are very DECEIVING, they show a bright and light place tastefully decorated. However, the entire apartment has virtually NO NATURAL LIGHT at all. All the lights had to be on in order to "see" at any moment of the day inside this apt.
Several of the porch blinds were missing and people walking into the building could see us sitting on the living room couch at all times of day or night, again NOT PRIVATE. The porch was barricaded by two dark and old walls on two out of three sides. The only, small porch opening faced the narrow parking lot and the street. Everyone walking into the bldg. and/or the pool passed by this porch. In fact, it felt totally unsafe because at any moment anyone from the outside could walk onto this porch uninvited! NOT SAFE for single travelers. We never got out to sit on the porch, it was dirty on top of it.
The bathroom window above the tub is not functional, it is completely barricaded with tacky dark paint/paper?! The toilet was not flushing for an entire day, the bathroom sink drained super slowly and there were 2 toilet paper rolls provided for an entire week, one was half used and the other one was under the sink, so cheap! This place lists as ready for 4 people, yet only 3 sets of towels are provided and the second bed, the sofa was not made for us upon arrival.
This was a LOUD unit, with noises from people walking by the front door and people directly upstairs, as well as behind the bedroom. The bed was positioned directly under a narrow window that faces the communal pool, which is super close to the window. It was very hard to sleep because there are bright, neon lights around the pool shining through the completely closed blinds above the bed, all night long!
Couple of nights in a row, there was loud music and party noises well passed 11:30 p.m. On top of this, the bed sheets smelled dirty, were wrinkled, and the bed comforter had obvious stains on it. It was simply placed two loose sheets, not tucked inside a cover. We could not help but wonder if any of these linens were even changed/washed!
Overall, this was our worst Airbnb experience we have ever had. It is really embarrassing how FALSELY it is ADVERTISED and presented for a substantial amount of money! It definitely made us feel as if the owners only care about PROFIT OVER QUALITY and HONESTY!
Location becomes completely irrelevant if you are staying in a DIRTY, MOLDY, NO VENTILATION, NO PRIVACY, DARK, OLD place that is "made up" with cheap "make-up" into something that is far from reality. We would absolutely NOT RECOMMEND this place!
