I’ve never written a poor review of a property, I usually just provide feedback to the host if I run into any snags. However, I’d like to warn others prior to booking this property. The area is safe and quiet and located in an ideal spot. Close to downtown and the highways. The curb appeal needs some work as it’s really dated compared to the rest of the neighborhood. The interior is very small, no tub, no stove. Ideal for just 1 person. There are a lot of scuffs and dirt on the walls. There are also holes and places where the wood is deteriorated throughout the place. Additional throws for the living room would make the living space more cozy. The blanket that was on the bed smelled like body odor so I didn’t want to use it.
The checkin process was awful. I arrived early and followed the check in process. The code did not work. I messaged the host asking if I could enter the property early. Hours later, the host said that it would be available and was ready. By this time I was running errands and did not get to the property until after 4pm.
It was raining and cold. The property has about 15-20 steep/uneven stairs that lead to the doorway. So, after lugging my bags up the stairs, I followed the checkin process and enter the code. It did not work, I wait a second and try again. This time I recorded myself entering the code properly. Both times, you can hear the locking mechanism move around but the door is still locked.
At this point, I messaged the host 3x letting them know
