On first glance, the property looked fine. However, it was dirty and noisy. It’s a second floor unit with another property on the third floor; we could hear people in the upstairs and next door units clear into the middle of the night, and there was tremendous noise every time someone used the stairs. The front door had a sketchy lock, and there was a 1.5” gap between the floor and the bottom of the door. None of us slept well the three nights we were there.
The floor was so disgustingly dirty that it turned all of our feet and socks black to we ended up wearing shoes inside the unit. The furniture, especially couches/chair in the living room, are filthy and grossly in need of a steam cleaning and sanitizing.
The walls in several rooms and hallway were scuffed and dirty. One bedroom door had a hole in the door. There were random trim pieces covering other holes (like the baseboard trim piece run vertically up the corner in a bathroom.)
We had planned on cooking breakfast daily in the unit but opted not to due to insufficient cookware/supplies for our needs. Additionally, most of the dishes (plates and coffee cups) were covered in food residue so we had to wash the dishes before we used them.
Pros to the property: It’s close to public transit (street car and bus) and restaurants (there’s a cute and tasty cafe one block away called Cafe' Porche & Snowbar). The mattresses were relatively comfy (despite cheap bed frames that squeaked anytime you rolled over.)
