Good location to downtown

Location was close to downtown. Unit needs a deep cleaning - floors, fridge, coffeemaker, etc. Towels smelled musty and there was no washcloth. There isn't alot a pots and pans, if you're planning to your own cooking.

Fair for the price but dirty

A fair bargain if you’re on a budget but we won’t be returning unfortunately. The photos are accurate but the biggest thing for us was that the home was dusty and dirty. My husband woke up with a spider web and dead spider on him and the pillows are so worn that they’re all yellow. The listing states that there’s wireless internet but we didn’t have any wifi. Host was unresponsive and we never heard back about our questions. We also had a stray cat that would follow us home and tried to enter the door every time we went in. So if you’re allergic, it might be stressful since there are a lot of neighbor cats. The instructions for leaving were also not clear since we couldn’t find the basket for linens and couldn’t find the outdoor trash cans. Overall thankful for this place but we weren’t comfortable.
