Location perfect. However, disappointing stay:poor maintenance, listing inaccuracies, and unhelpful hostSaid there was a patio but no access due to broken window covering. No patio chairs. Patio covered in tall weeds. (was not cleared for the first 3 days. Host said he had no control over that. Also said handy man was swamped so shade cover was not fixed. Had office space listed- it was a utility closet with an ironing board. Said there were room darkening curtains. There were not. Parking lot lights shown through. When we arrived, windows were extremely dirty- we washed them. Kitchen cabinets were greesy

I really wanted to like this rental… the location was great! But sadly, that was really the only thing I liked. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a terrible smell. Almost like cat urine. The whole place smelled. I even purchased 3 air fresheners and placed them around the apartment, and it still smelled. There was a small amount of feces left in the toilet, the shower had black curly hairs all over, the bed didn’t have a flat sheet, only a fitted sheet and comforter, the sliding back door was broken and wouldn’t lock (there was a pole placed there, preventing it from opening), the shade that covered the back sliding door was broken and couldn’t be opened, the bedroom door wouldn’t close all the way, the shade in the bedroom was not a “black-out” curtain, like the listing said (the bright lights from the parking light kept the room bright all night), the air conditioner in the living/dining room didn’t work, there wasn’t a garbage bag in the bathroom can and the communication with the host wasn’t great.I messaged the host right away, stating the condition of the apartment. They said they would ask the cleaner some questions about what I had said and I didn’t hear anything else. However, I did notice that there were some garbage bags left on the kitchen counter when I had come back after being out. This made me very uncomfortable, knowing that someone had been in the apartment while I was away and all of my stuff was there. I was never given a heads up.

I was totally looking forward to visiting my home town and spend time with family.Normally when I come into town, I stay atAC Hotel. First the day of I receive a list of rules that not every other guest respected. Very loud music playing in the unit and outside in the car. This started after 1am.They started to fight around 2:30am. The walls are super thin so the guest on the top floor walked around and was loud from around midnight until around 2:00am.The rules states to park in assigned parking space but I had someone guest park in my space so I had to knock on doors until I located who was in my parking space at 11:39pm. I’m a professional that travels a lot for my business and this was the stay from hell!!! Kaden took his time to get back to me on issues. For the amount of monies and the area I truly expected a better outcome. Someone may want to have the toilet checked or someone just runs where you have to remove the lid and adjust the chain. HVAC unit is some cheap unit that does not operate like a standard unit. I would not recommend this place if you are a professional and looking for peace and quiet in the evening. This company about just making money. No real check on guest where the place does not feel like you in a ghetto or in bad area with no respect to others.
