Appeared to be a nice place to stay but if you look at details, and cleanliness is a priority for you, just be advised.
Pros:
- There’s 1 parking spot designated for your rental unit behind the gate, so it feels safe in their very congested neighborhood.
- There water pressure and temperature for the shower was above average.
Cons (mostly about cleanliness):
- Open Frosted Flakes box left over from a previous guest isn’t Covid clean or compliant.
- The two mugs available for use are filthy and filled with dust and dried remnants, but nothing to clean it with.
- There’s no other trash bin in the unit, only a small trash bin for toilet trash.
- There’s no paper towels in case you need to clean a spill or anything else.
- Shower mat is not washed but reused by other guests, which is very unsanitary. Foot fungus is a real, transmittable thing.
- The floors were barely swept up. Did not feel comfortable walking barefoot so got our socks all dirty (we don’t wear shoes in our house).
- The toilet seat and surrounding was dirty, you could see dust. Luckily there were Lysol wipes that were available for us to clean it to feel comfortable.
- It is very evident that the place was barely cleaned after the previous guests’ use. The sheets seemed clean but we could see spots on the mirror, faucet, and sink from face washing or toothbrushing.
- The shower floor was grimy from previous use.
- She charges a $20 cleaning fee, which didn’t guarantee us a clean, safe stay. However, she does ask if you could take out our own trash. Seems imbalanced.
- not about cleanliness but if you’re short, you might need a step stool for the sink, it’s unusually tall. Poor planning, I guess. I’m 5’6” and needed to tippy toe to wash my face and brush my teeth.
If you want a cheap stay and don’t care too much about cleanliness, this is a good find. But if you’re like me and pay attention to detail, then maybe spend a little more for something closer to downtown.
