Unfortunately there were a number of issues regarding this property:1) The entrance is at the top of the 4th floor using an outdoor wooden staircase.....how are people in their late 60's supposed to access a top floor rental using this entrance method? 2) Once finally in the property, the bed's were nearly at the floor level....no way could we get in and out of the bed's.3) Upon notification to the host that we couldn't possibly stay in the unit, there was no response until the next day when I reached out to the host again.4) Ultimately we had to find another place to stay.....causing us to lose money on this rental.5) Terrible to not know the reality of a rental until you get there and then its too late and you lose your money.6) There was no indication on the rental that the property is not ADA accessible.
