We noticed when we walked in that the baseboards around the apartment were all dirty! Either with dust/dirt or coffee spills (in kitchen). The carpet is stained, everywhere, which made it icky to walk on (always had to wear socks/shoes). The blinds in the master looked like there is mold on the bottom third ( the second bedroom blinds also had this, but not to the extend of the master blind). When we tried to use the washer and dryer (which is listed on the amenities)! it was not working and hasn't been for over a year according to the paper taped to it. The outside light was burned out (which I mentioned and was told would be looked at) and never was fixed before my departure. On the last night we had to spray for ants.
As for ammenities, there were no washcloths, only one roll of paper towels (for the Thanksgiving holiday, no less!), only one hand towel for the master. The shower "soap" was not in the shower but on the counter in the bathroom - half used. Same with the hand soap in the kitchen - half used. And the shampoo/conditioner as well. There is no excuse for this. Either buy small, individual containers (like a hotel) or refill the containers there. There were no extra garbage bags.
The host's response to my communication fell short. I explained what we were missing and was told that I could go pick up whatever I needed and would be reimbursed. While that may sound helpful, I'm on vacation and have PAID for ammenties and service. The host tried to contact the maid service but they apparently never got back to him as the issues were never resolved - illustrating poor communication and service practices.
The fact that is was a holiday time frame should make no difference. We pay for the amenities and the service (and I'm sure at a higher rate because of the holiday). I could not recommend anything about this experience.
The description says six people. We had three and it felt cramped - especially in the kitchen - which is so very awkwardly configured. It is almost impossible to reach dishes and cups/glasses due to the placement of the cabinet over the island.
The master bed was very comfortable and the view was gorgeous. It was also very quiet, which was nice!
