Needs extensive repairs to ceiling / concerns about failing ceiling paint
Franklin the owner was very kind and understanding. Unfortunately, the building is in a state of disrepair, there appeared to be an active leak in the ceiling and I could only bring myself to stay one night, despite having booked a week-long stay. I had to scramble for another place. (very stressful with kids) because I woke up after the first night with bits of the ceiling material stuck to my forearm. The building is VERY old so I was concerned given the age of the building that the materials in the ceiling could be hazardous to my / children's health. Upon check - the maid greeted us; they were very nice but had obviously been smoking in the unit because it smelled strongly of cigarettes. I was also not too impressed with the kitchen situation. Very few cooking options (one portable cook-top burner) it was difficult to work and cooking one item at a time is not ideal. The refrigerator was also making an awful whirring noise and did not keep anything very cold. I had to throw out everything I bought the next day. Overall, I would say the stay could be improved and the house has the potential to be really awesome. I hate leaving bad reviews.
Bullet points:
*Fix ceilings ( no family is going to feel safe with the ceiling the way it is)
* Improve the kitchen cooking options and replace/ repair the refrigerator
* Have cleaning staff avoid smoking inside the unit.
