Check in and out process was easy, was able to communicate easily with host. It had Wi-Fi access and the stay was adequate. It had enough space for four people.
The rental served its purpose for my stay. I ran into a few minor issues, never received the unit number or access code upon arrival, the walls are very thin (I could hear multiple conversations and coughing during the night), and the front door wouldn’t lock from the outside. That said, the host was responsive and polite, which made addressing the code issues easy.
Very small, smaller than I thought based on the pictures. But that’s just perspective I suppose. I didn’t have many issues while here and no real complaints that would impact my staying here again.
Not even the bare minimum, No rugs anywhere, I was given 3 towels for 9 days. No face/hand or kitchen towel. Not was there a towel or any drying rack to towel for the dishes. The kitchen stove was dirty. AC make a lot of noice and when it I off it make a dripping sound that is very annoying. Couldn’t keep it turned off due to moisture down the windows and a smell of mold. One tiny lamp in the bedroom so you couldn't see anything at night, had to use my flashlight on my phone. I had to use the small lap in the living room to see in the bedroom which left no light in there. There were only 4 hangers and not one drawer to put any clothing or belongings in, nor did the nightstand have a draw. The kitchen had an oven but no baking pans, I burnt myself when looking for hot pads or a dishtowel. There were only 2 glasses not enough dishes for 4 people, no ice trays. I cooked pasta, no strainer…There was only a small lamp in the living room and a wall to stare at and a fuse box. So many things that you don’t notice until you need them. The listing photos were not accurate and everyday it was something else I had to ask for. This did to have the basic items to cook a meal or to see to find you items at night. Rust on the closet doors. I could keep going however they only allow so many words I am a host and don’t like to leave bad reviews however this was unacceptable! No coffee table or rug or wires coming out of the wall as shown in the photos.
