The location is great for anyone looking to be near the university. Other than location, I do not feel this apartment was worth the money. It is very outdated, worn, and felt worse than staying in a college dorm.
- There is a musty odor that is present whenever returning to the apartment. I either had to open windows or light a candle whenever I returned.
- The apartment was clearly furnished with things previous tenants left behind or free things from the curb. Dining chairs were mismatched and tattered. The sofa seems like a segment from a sectional and is small and awkward.
- Throw pillows were ripped and stuffing was literally coming of them
- No garbage can or bags provided in either kitchen or bathroom.
- No cleaning supplies.
- Apartment is dirty. It does not appear to be professionally cleaned. There was a sock and several masks on the floor around the sofa. The bathroom smelled very musty and the shower walls had not been cleaned. The tub lining was peeling and rusted. There are dirty finger prints around the light switches.
- Bathroom was completely different than one that was in the listing when I booked and specifically asked for pictures of the bathroom.
- There is no curtain or privacy screen on the window of the bathroom, making the bathroom and bedroom completely visible from outside where there is foot traffic. I had to use a paper grocery bag for privacy.
- There were boxes, spray paint cans, and old towels outside in addition to furniture that I had to bring inside to the apartment.
- All mirrors and windows were dirty and I cleaned them myself.
- Musty odor in entire apartment.
- No television.
- No screen in bathroom window but no fan to use as an alternative, so bugs would come in if you left it open.
- Window coverings we’re dirty and dated.
- The front window leaked an excessive amount of water on to the floor. I’m not sure if it was condensation or what, but I had to wipe it numerous times a day to prevent the floors from being soaked.
- There is a security camera pointed directly to the front entrance of the unit that may make some people uncomfortable.
Street parking was easy enough after $50 for a parking permit. There were pots and pans and dishes in the kitchen (most presumably left by former tenants) but no coffee machine. I left behind salt/pepper/instant coffee hoping to benefit the next guest. Purely for the location this would have been good for a temporary stay, but a long stay in this apartment was not comfortable for me and left me unhappy.
