Overall, this was not the ideal property for our weekend getaway.
Pros: There was hot water and plenty of it for all of us to shower.
There was a functional air conditioning unit.
There was plenty of room for our kids to spread out and relax at the end of the day.
We felt safe in the neighborhood and in the unit.
Close to downtown activities.
Cons: We did not get any instructions on parking, so I assumed it would be obvious when we go there. It wasn't. I had to contact the owner and then received directions to the parking area, which was inside a gated valet lot for the neighboring hotel. Very safe but not at all obvious.
There was an issue with the comms box on the building, so it wouldn't connect to the owner to open the main door for us. After standing around and texting with the owner for a while, we finally snuck in when another resident came out. We got to the unit, were able to get in with the door code, and got the key card to access the main entrance. So after that, access wasn't an issue. The whole building smelled like marijuana though, which is out of the owner's control, but still unpleasant.
We definitely recommend a different cleaning service from whatever the owner is doing now. The bed linens were not fresh, there was popcorn in the main bed, and there was a fake fingernail on the floor, so it doesn't appear that the carpet was vacuumed. There were dishes in the dish washer and dirty towels in the washing machine.
There were no bath linens in the bathrooms and I found 4 clean towels in the utility room. I washed the towels that were in the washing machine so we had more linens the 2nd day.
There was only a fitted sheet and a comforter on the beds, no flat sheet and no blanket. I always take off comforters, even in hotels, because those just don't get washed routinely. When I took off the comforter though, there was nothing else to sleep under!
Even though the unit says it sleeps 6 by using the couch as sleeping space, there weren't any extra linens to "make up" the couch as a bed.
The 2nd bathroom tub appears to have been resurfaced, but the surfacing material was peeling off badly, so I couldn't let my kids bathe in there at all.
Overall, poorly maintained property and I would have re-located for this trip if we had been staying longer than 2 nights. Would not stay there again and would not recommend.
