Luxury New-Build 2BR w King Bed, Designer Finishes + Ultra-Fast WiFi & AC

I will start with the positives. We were pleasantly surprised that it was reasonably quiet so getting to sleep was not a problem. We informed the hosts of 2 issues which were addressed effectively. There were plenty of towels for the shower. The kitchen had everything we needed. Communication was great. Access was easy.The word “luxury” used to describe this apartment is inaccurate. The 2 beds were comfortable but the sofa beds were not comfortable as either a sofa or a bed. All seating was actually uncomfortable so resting after activities was not ideal. It felt like an average VRBO listing with IKEA type furnishings.Notes for other travelers that we wish we knew beforehand. We did know there was no designated parking space but didn't realize public parking would be unattainable most of the time. You also have to walk up steep stairs to get to the apartment so it’s not ideal for all travelers.At the end of the day, we enjoyed our trip. The accommodations allowed for the necessities of a temporary dwelling and we didn’t have any major issues with the apartment.

Clean, nice neighborhood. The only suggestion I have is to add laundry facilities for guests.

10/10 The only issue I noticed was it seemed linens were not clean or stained, no trash bags, and there were ants everywhere so we were bitten a little lol. Reached out and got a response very quickly with resolutions. I gave it a 10/10 because it was very spacious, beds so comfortable, clean spaces, safe neighborhood, left us a book with everything we may need to know, and they responded very fast to resolve any issues! Very kind and easy to communicate with!

As a traveler who has been using hosting sites for 15 years, it saddens me to leave my first neutral/negative review. There were a few major issues during our stay that caused us major inconveniences. In the interest of leaving a thorough & honest review, I’ll highlight some ofthe pros & cons of our experience.Pros:- the bed in the master bedroom was comfortable. - the kitchen was thoroughly stocked with appliances, spices, coffee & amenities- there were plenty of towels available for use.- check-in process was easy & seamless- apartment was only 10 min walk away from the redline train stationCons:- The first night we arrived, there was a large infestation of flies & gnats on the front door of the complex. Somehow by the 2nd night they got into the apartment & we had over 100 gnats and flies covering our walls, light fixtures and just generally being a nuisance. I messaged the owner & he was able to have someone swing by & spray an insect repellant the next morning, but the entrance, corridor & hall smelled like chemicals for the remainder of the stay. - whoever renovated this home into apartments did not install the door handles & latches correctly. Both the master bedroom door and both bathroom doors did not lock, which is very inconvenient if you are staying with friends or other family.- There was no deadbolt on the front door of the apartment, or any way to lock it from the inside allowing our toddler to walk out whenever he pleased
