We are told by the host to park only on Washburn Street in front of the given house address, and discovered that the rental was a remodeled garage on an open alley behind the house, which was under construction. The area all around the garage was overgrown, strewn with piles of construction debris, with open manholes several feet deep, and cracked and missing concrete stairs leading up from the street. None of this was indicated by the host prior to the time of reservation. The coded entry system did not operate and caused us to stand in the open alley with all our luggage on arrival, and on two other occasions. The host took several hours to respond to our inquiries each time. The sofa had food stains and the trash bin in the galley kitchen was full uopn our arrival.
Inside the garage the bed was set up in the garage attic with a low ceiling on each side, reached by a set of narrow metal stairs, which protruded so dangerously into the downstairs area that the host had placed small foam pieces on the sharp metal edges. The HVAC could not distribute air evenly, so we were chilled below and hot above.
Only the brave, athletic and stout hearted should even consider this rental.
