  : The finishings were nice. Tile and counter tops.
  : 2 hours before I arrived and when i arrived...I text 4 times, called 3 and knocked and rang the doorbell. No response to any of these. I poked around and found a gate to the back yard where I thought the apartment we rented might be. Got to be back yard and went to back door which is mostly glass. It was clear the host was having a party. It was very awkward and everyone was staring at me. He came out and showed me to our apartment. I mentioned to him that I had been trying to contact him. To which his response was " I was busy" as he motioned towards his guests. I got my family back there to change for dinner. The walk way (only way to get to apartment and very narrow) had dog poop on it and smelled of urine. Upon entering unit a musty / mold smell hits you hard. The bedding was torn and stained and you can't open pull out couch with out rearranging tables..you also can't access the door. Come to find there looked to be several roof stains and significant mold in air conditioner (one of which was not working). We were in a rush and headed out to dinner. When we got back it was warm and very musky in the room. My husband went to speak w host. He did move us to a separate apartment that was much better. Still had stained bedding but mostly the musty mold was gone. The court yard was private by this unit. I will say the pictures of a porch w hot tub are deceiving. That is his back porch with a wall of windows. Overall our experience was very poor and the host was unwelcoming. He was nice enough to move us to the other unit after a discussion though. Location was ok but close to a warehouse street that made me kinda nervous but units are tucked away and I felt safe in the unit.

Wonderful

  : We really loved the location. It was very secluded and quiet. The hottub was an added bonus too! We will definitely refer AND stay again in the future. Host was great. He worked with us and accommodated really well. 4.5 out of 5
  : The beds were uncomfortable. It was like sleeping on a marble slab. Some people like the stiff beds so I guess that's just my preference.
