It was just ok for us-we sadly won’t return. My husband and I chose this place to celebrate our anniversary.
We’ve stayed in lots of air bnb’s and really wanted to love this place but found ourselves overall disappointed. We know reviews are subjective sometimes and perhaps what is a deal breaker for us isn’t for others so we wanted to share both pros and cons of our stay just so other guests understand what they’re purchasing.
Pros:
-the view from the 30th floor balcony is astonishing. But without this feature, the unit was a pretty mediocre apartment and we would have rather stayed in a hotel. We feel the pictures made the unit look more polished than it really is.
-the kitchen is beautiful, stocked with basic cooking essentials, lots of ice (although we didn’t plan on cooking)-the dishwasher was still full from last guest and leftover coffee was in the maker.
-the bed is smaller than what we thought but mattress was pretty comfortable
-extra pillows
-box fan
-key fob directions seem intimidating but are easy to follow
Cons:
-garage felt pretty drab and not lit well; would not be there alone at night
-the bathroom had cracked spackle where a curtain rod had clearly broke; no bother to paint. There was also a broken toilet paper dispenser supplemented with a standing one.
-burnt out lightbulb: 2/3 in bath and 1/2 in bedroom; no overhead lighting
-clear water damages in areas of the unit that were just painted over instead of repaired.
-extremely minimally decorated which might be just the ticket for some but left us feeling like the homey feeling was lacking.
-the unit is pretty echoey so you really have to watch your tone since noise level is high priority for hosts. I would not recommend this place for a girls weekend or for children.
-fire detector ripped out of ceiling
-uncomfortable furniture
I did inform hosts of opportunities for improvement as politely as possible. For the price and for the experience portrayed in the pictures I feel like some corners were cut here.
