The place is pretty good and I’m sure in general it is a great stay but I had a few negative experiences and would like to highlight both the good and bad.
The good is that it’s a lovely safe neighbourhood and close to tech companies and other attractions so it’s an ideal stay for a part time employee working nearby. Definitely enough space for 1 person if they have 2-3 bags or two adults if they each have a single bag. The hosts have excellent communication and give the impression that they are really responsive to any issues you have during your stay. They are also generous with providing toilet paper, shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, etc. The hosts were professional and kind during all communication.
However, my stay was pretty frustrating starting with the place completely uncleaned since the last guest that left that morning. The hosts were quick to respond and had the room cleaned by that evening but I had already stayed elsewhere for the evening and they did not hesitate to refund the night. After that it was certainly clean.
Next I noticed two big holes in the ceilings to find out the carbon monoxide alarms were missing and upon contacting the hosts they installed them the next day. The installation wasn’t all smooth as one was missing batteries and started beeping during the night but the next day the hosts fixed the issue.
Next there was a pretty bad ant infestation and all the bins are open so ants came crawling out of the ceiling and walls and all that was provided was insecticide. Between my neighbour and I we managed to spray every nook and cranny where ants were coming from and it kept them at bay for the latter half of the stay.
Other things that were a bit disappointing was the one kitchen light switch is held fixed by duct tape and so is the kitchen bin hinge. The main lights in my bedroom made a slightly annoying static sound of some kind when they were on. Also the sharing of the AC is fairly annoying.
All-in-all the hosts appear to have good intentions and I’m sure they’ll prevent another bad stay like mine happening again but I just left with the impression that guest throughput was more valued than attention to detail.
