Overall the inside is as shown as depicted in the photos listed. This is clearly a flipped rental that is managed by someone who does not seem to be local. The outside of this place is likely not shown in the photos because as others mentioned it leaves a lot to be desired. The neighborhood is very quiet other than the fire station across the street. The mentioned courtyard is really just a paved parking lot with a small section of dead grass. Not something you would use for any reason and it does not seem any of the neighbors do either. This rental is essentially an old motel turned into apartments. The neighbors all had their doors open so it’s seemingly safe but considering a strong push could likely open the front door of the rental with ease I would only stay here with friends; never alone. The walls are very thin and we could hear the neighbors TV, coughing, snoring, etc during our whole stay.
Check in was easy as this is a rental property that seems like the host has never really ever been to. Just a door code and some instructions are provided to check in. The instructions were mostly clear but also seemed to be a template used on other properties as well since they were not all accurate while staying here. Again, making it pretty obvious this is just someone’s AirBnB property that they probably never visit.
The check in time stated “after 12” and even after being asked a few times by the host when we planned on arriving, “after 12” turned into “3pm or later” which was fine but also why did they bother to even ask?! The day before checkout it was made very clear of a strict checkout time. Again, this is fine but why bother asking when we were planning to check out if 12 was the only option?
Like most AirBnbs at this point, the $200 cleaning fee is pretty insane considering we were told to take out the trash and wash all dishes before checking out. We are very tidy and clean but if we are essentially required to do the cleaning why such a high fee?
The shower was fine but slow draining and generally clean. We would probably look elsewhere if we stayed in the area again as the cost didn’t seems to really match considering each person staying raises the rate for really no justification as to why. It’s a fine place but just left a lot to be desired.
