Place was a great location! Decent size. Can tell was put together to rent quickly. Wifi was essentially non existent. There was no thermostat, at least from when I searched, it was hot in January! . Neighbors were never there and had a smoke detector that beeped every 30 seconds! Amenities were good, place wasn't the cleanest. Beds were comfy.
Would’ve given a 5 but there was no toilet paper and a large lack of available outlets, could definitely use with some power strips. There was also some small trash left in the backyard.

The location of the flat worked very well for us, and because we were out most of the time, it ultimately suited our needs. However, the apartment did not fully meet the standard advertised on Vrbo. The walls were stained in many places, some areas including parts of the hallway were visibly worn, the kitchen has seen better times, and the cleaning was not top-notch. In addition, the broadband was not working initially, and we had to ask the host for an alternative, which he kindly provided. Overall, while the location was a plus, the condition of the flat could be improved.

The apartment had many problems. Downstairs there was a door leading to a construction site, several defects in the living room, only one set of keys, and the bottom mattress was made of springs that left marks on your back. But the worst part was how cold it was; the windows didn't insulate, and the appliance in the dining room didn't work properly. Imagine how cold it was the two days it snowed. We told the landlord, and he kept giving us the runaround, making excuses but not fixing the problem. After two days, he asked us for two space heaters, but we still suffered terribly from the cold on those snowy days.
The apartment was very warm....we ended up opening windows because it became uncomfortably warm. A on cleanliness and convenient location. The kitchen was well equipped but could use paper towels, dish towel and pot holders. We also had to purchase toilet paper because there was no extra roll in the 2nd bathroom. Maybe also an extension cord for the bedside light that could not plug in and a power strip in the living room so the TV could be plugged in. These are not complaints, just suggestions for future guest comfort. It was chilly so we did not spend much time in the cute back yard...and could not figure out how to turn on the lights that are surely charming in the summer!

This property was obviously a newly listed one. The photos look great from the surface, but there were many unpleasant things about this property. Need a deeper cleaning.The AC in the bedroom’s cord was cut off, so it didn’t work The toilet dripped from the connectionsHad Wifi issues where it took them over a day to fix so we didn't have wifi for the nightNo light bulbs in the bedroom lampsBeds were very soft so uncomfortable for people looking for a firmer bedThere's a door that leads to a weird area in the basement or downstairs
This space fall short of being charming, the condition in which we found the apartment was not as it shows in the pictures the front door and light fixture outside is broken so at night there is no light as you enter the corridor there is trash, empty boxes, which made walking in with suitcases difficult. Apparently, from the last review in Sept. the toilet was never fixed it was we still leaking a yellow towel was placed on the floor to catch the water that was not sufficient. WiFi was a NO air conditioning in the bedroom was still broken. window did not open and it was stuffy. There were no curtains on the windows. One of them had a huge hole on the wall, where the curtain rod should go the only air-conditioning unit working upstairs was in the living room that was not enough to cool down the bedroom. The pillowcases were very rough. Almost seems to be made out of burlap, downstairs bedroom We found an unlocked door that led off to this huge space lights were on there’s a lot of trash when I contacted the host. She stated it was safe and that it led off towards the front of the building (how safe is that) there was no way of telling who had access to that area. I was there with two young ladies, and we did not feel safe staying in the unit just the way the whole apartment was situated unattended and neglected it needs a lot of maintenance lots of repairs need to be done for it to look the way its listed in the pictures. Needless to say we did not stay.
