You know how they say you get what you pay for Well in this case the price was right, the location was good, The two separate bedrooms with separate baths was convenient for two single ladies, the amenities were sufficient, however The bed linens were dirty. on both beds the duvets We're dirty and had some stains. they had put a white sheet on top so it wasn't noticeable at first look. When I pulled back the top bed sheet to climb in there was a very nasty brown stain. This was very unpleasant to find and unfortunately there is only laundry in an outside laundry room that you have to pay for so I did call and let them know that they're cleaning people were doing a horrible job, And they thanked me for the message but I went out and bought a sheet and a pillowcase so that I felt more comfortable sleeping. There was a very strong smell of either cat pee or backed up sewer which I did not notice until the second day after returning to the apartment and walking through the front door it was very unpleasant which I notified the hosts and they allowed me to burn incense to help mask the smell. The apartments are old and do not have air vents in the bathrooms therefore while getting ready for a wedding It was uncomfortable being in a hot stinky bathroom trying to prepare for a nice occasion. I had read reviews before booking and was hoping that the questionable reviews and bad reviews were from very picky people however I'm hoping that after sending a message to the hosts they will address these issues if they can especially making sure that the cleaning staff are using bleach and hot water to clean their linens.
I cannot blame this on the cleanliness of the linens and towels however the day before I left I developed a big fever blister, which is very unusual for me, and made me question the cleanliness of the linens and utensils. The positive part was that it was a sufficient space with everything we needed located in a very funky fun northern neighborhood which was only 16 minutes from downtown. there was a very small pool and even though I read that there was a hot tub I couldn't find it and I have no idea what those people were speaking of. I honestly can't say I would be returning here only because of me questioning their cleaning practices and the very strong unpleasant smell that accosted us every time we came through the door. I hope they can figure that out because other than that it was a good value and you can walk to a few restaurants and even some food trucks. There's also a few vintage stores down the street and a historic candy shop up around the corner.
