To be honest, I really don’t understand all of the raving reviews about this place. I am not one to leave a negative review for anyone, but this is just to give others a heads up about a couple things. The apartment itself was okay. Just okay. We left after one night & booked a hotel for the remaining stay. The apartment building DOES allow smoking, something that I regret not asking about before hand. (I just assumed that it was a non-smoking building like any other place these days, but it is not. So that’s my fault for not asking.) The night we arrived, the building & living room reeked of cigarettes & weed. The living room was actually hazy from all the smoke coming in, I’m assuming that is why they have an air purifier in there-which didn’t help the situation. We camped out in the bedroom with the door shut the entire time, because of the smell.
My eyes were swollen & burning so bad by the next morning, so we made the decision to just stay somewhere else. I did let Kara know about all of the above & she did reimburse us for the remaining stay we had booked, so that was extremely nice & we are very thankful for that.
There were multiple gnats in the bedroom flying around.
The second we pulled into the parking lot, we didn’t feel very safe being there. The building is awful, dirty & not appealing one bit. There was a man standing in the hallway on the phone, screaming & swearing at someone on the other end. The door to the 2nd floor was extremely hard to unlock with the key, we stood there frantically trying to get it open for about 5 minutes. Looked like someone had tried to break in, the handle was about falling off.
The door handle to the apartment itself doesn’t even lock or latch when it closes. Thank god for the dead bolt & chain lock when you shut the door.
The bathroom sink leaks, the only plug-in in the bathroom didn’t work. There is no where to set your things in the bathroom besides on the floor.
And you can hear every little noise being made in the bathroom of another apartment, above the bedroom. I’ll just leave it at that.
I regret booking this place, and following some of the other reviews.
