Our group (4 academic scientists attending a conference) stayed in this unit January 3-7, 2020. This unit was conveniently located to the JW Marriott and conference center. Just a few minutes walk so can't beat that aspect of the rental. However, the positives of our experience end there. This host needs to spend some time fixing up and cleaning this unit. It's really unfortunate because this could have been a five-star experience. Seeing this echoed in previous reviews without explicit details. So for the benefit of future guests, here's a somewhat comprehensive list of issues that need to be addressed:
Bathrooms:
Common toilet is unstable and rocks back and forth.
Common shower had hole in tile wall with black mold growing
Common bathroom exhaust fan not working
Master toilet seat broken
Master sink cabinet falling off hinges
Hot water is unreliable. Took several cold showers.
Bedrooms:
Uncomfortable mattresses
Master closet door fallen off hinges and was laying collapsed in closet
Old windows in downstairs bedrooms that pour in cold air at night
Downstairs bedrooms are really loud from street noise/drunken conversations that generally go on until about 2 or 3 AM, probably because of old windows that don't close all the way
WiFi does not reach master bedroom
Upstairs bedroom lamp broken with bulb dangling
Upstairs bedroom fan really wobbly
Upstairs bedroom needs some kind of storage unit or way to hang clothing
Living room:
The rug is really dirty and needs cleaned badly
WiFi is really slow
All but three light fixtures were broken, resulting in a very dimly-lit room. Host said he would have this fixed, but it never happened.
The couches are really old and need replaced. One is held together by a board.
Kitchen:
No dish soap or sponge. Needed to buy at local store.
No recycling
Very few pots and pans. Cabinets were pretty barren.
My hope is that the host addresses these issues for future guests.
