This place is not fit for 2 people and is not worth the money. I wish we’d stayed anywhere else. Ella did not provide us the door code prior to arrival, so the checking in process was pretty terrible. She was very slow to respond and did not communicate with us for days on end when we reached out with questions, affecting portions of the planning of our trip, since we were camping and without cell service. We would have cancelled the booking had we known how this was going to go, but by the time we got there, it was too late and we had nowhere else to go.
Things they don’t tell you:
- the studio room is located on a 5th floor walk up with no elevator access and through a windy front entrance area with many stairs. Good luck with your bags if they’re heavy.
- there are no curtains. The shade is useless and the blinds are pitiful. Truly, bring an eye mask. Once the sun was up at 6 am, it was good morning and that was that. You’ll get no relief once the sun is up because of the windows.
- the shampoo and conditioner “amenities” are sub par. We were given dollar store V05, so if you care about your hair and body, bring your own stuff.
- maybe bring your own hand soap too. They filled the bottom of the soap with water for us and it was a thin cheap mess. Saving a dollar here and there on hand soap during a global pandemic rubbed us the wrong way for what is supposed to be like a hotel experience.
- the wifi didn’t work for our phones or any smart devices, but it did work on the tv in the room for streaming. The login to wifi/join network link through Airbnb must be messed up.
- the bed is a cheap mattress with a foam topper on top that is NOT the same size as the bed. You’ve got about 4-5 inches on each side where it slopes to the regular mattress due to the size differences.
- the bed is very small. Good luck fitting 2 people because it feels like a full, not a queen.
- bring your own pillows. The pillows were so thin and flimsy that we sunk down to the mattress when we laid on them. Also, throw pillow had broken zippers.
- ask for more towels if you think you’ll need them. We got 2 towels for 2 people and had to ask for more.
- there’s only 1 trash can, not a main area one. The bathroom one is all you got. We also got a dirty washcloth included in our towels, so inspect your stuff before using it.
- the shower curtain is so short. Be careful when showering or you’ll make a mess without realizing because it’s too small for the shower.
- the bathroom light was burnt out. 1 of the 2 lights wasn’t working. Like, come on. Check this stuff before your guests arrive.
