Le gustó: Check-in
No le gustó: Limpieza, comunicación, ubicación
Good on paper
The good:
A roof over your head
Basic necessities are there
The bad:
Ants
Train nearby passing throughout the night
Window area and trim were very dusty
Single paned windows making it unbearably hot at night
Weak portable AC that is only in the kitchen
Uncommunicative host
No screen in one window
Vertical blinds kept falling off
On paper the listing looks okay but upon arrival there were many things that that were off. The host is only available from 9-6 if you are lucky to get a response. We tried texting through the VRBO app and they only responded to select questions. VRBO customer service gave us their telephone number to contact and they never responded to my voice message or texts. The AC is only in the kitchen and cannot extend to the bedroom. The host said there is an additional AC window panel in the closet but it wasn't there. They never responded when we sent pictures of what was in the closet to proove that it's not there. The unit gets incredibly hot. It was about 80 to 85 degrees in the entire unit at night during our stay. With the planes, trains, and heat it was torture to stay here. With this being said, we did come during a heat wave but even if it were slightly cooler it doesn't change the fact that there were bugs and the host was not very responsive.
One thing worth mentioning was there was a blackout. Not the owners fault but it did happen during our stay.
Street parking was always available. It's close to little Italy and the airport.
I would suggest considering another location if you're a light sleeper with the planes and trains passing by at night.
If you're checking in after the sun goes down be prepared to turn on your cell phone flashlight because it's dark. The outdoor sensored light flickers similarly to a haunted corn maze. The unit is behind a house and is not visible from the street. To access the rental you'll need to walk to the right of the house and open the gate. The unit is on the top left. The porch lights will not be turned on for you when you arrive.
This unit is affordable so if you're willing to overlook some of what was mentioned here you may have a better experience than we did.
