We appreciate being able to stay here during the COVID 19 crisis. We moved here and were waiting on an apartment that my wife wanted to get into. There are a great deal of amenities available in the home.
Amenities/advantages: coin operated laundry, shared bathroom, shared kitchen and living room areas, private bedrooms, heating, ac, shared fridge and other appliances. You can even get into the building using a code that the host provides.
Disadvantages: the main disadvantage to staying here is cleanliness in our opinion. When we arrived here we attempted to call AirBnB and cancel our reservation because of several things(we never could reach the company so we stayed): the home smells very bad. It can almost be described as a locker room. The smell is a combination of the mold growing in the bathroom, BO from other guests and uncleaned surfaces such as the flooring and walls. During the COVID crisis we could not find very many options of other rentals and we felt we had few options so during our two week stay we cleaned every surface we planned to use. We spent about 10 hours all combined mopping, cleaning walls, bathtubs, toilet, sinks, fans and tables. We couldn't have cleaned it all. Things such as the couches were beyond our equipment.
The other main disadvantage was the host. We attempted to make conversation when he showed up occasionally. But, he would come and vacuum things to try to make it look clean. He once went into our bedroom without warning and vacuumed the hard floors we had just mopped actually making a mess. Our baby was sleeping during this time and the host woke him up. He didn't apologize.
In the end, our apartment got pushed back one more week. We requested to extend our stay to avoid moving but it was denied. The reasoning was our baby was causing a disturbance because he occasionally cries out in the night. I do hope we didn't wake anyone up. It is hard to be in a rental with a child.
