I had a highly disappointing experience at this property. First and foremost, the host withheld my security deposit, claiming it was needed to replace a couch that was already worn and in poor condition when I arrived. It feels like a blatant attempt to make guests pay for their overdue upgrades, which is unacceptable. She found the opportunity to replace a pleather worn out couch with a an actual leather couch from a luxury furniture store.
The apartment itself is outdated and in desperate need of maintenance. The kitchen items (pots, pans and utensils) are old and dirty, the shower in the master bath is even worse—it’s in dire need of a complete renovation as it felt more like something from a run-down motel than a vacation rental and reeked mold.
The day I moved in, I completely cleaned the entire apartment to make our stay comfortable.
Additionally, there were several other issues throughout the apartment that made the stay far less comfortable than expected. I wouldn’t recommend staying here, as it felt like the host was more focused on taking advantage of guests for their own repairs than providing a quality rental experience.
I may have been scammed out of $500 but hopefully you don’t have to be. Pick a different host!!!
