2.0 star property

"Check-in was difficult, but manageable. Room was clean and well enough appointed, and sizeable. The reason for the low score is this company requires customers to either pay a fee (non refundable) OR a larger security deposit, which hurts people who can't afford to carry the security deposit charge for a few days. It's a blatant hidden fee designed to take advantage of less well off people. I will not be doing business with them again."

"Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with this stay. The building itself was very rundown and there was a fly trap right outside the door with about 40 fly carcasses on it. Not a great thing to see when you first get into the room. The stairs were extremely narrow. My dogs could not make it up these stairs. The unit itself was great. If I was just basing the stay off of that, it might have gotten another star. Owner was open to letting me check in early but the property wasn't clean so that...

"After looking at these pictures I thought that this was a decent place to stay. I was wrong.Firstly, I sent the host a number of different messages asking about certain things to no reply.- There was no toilet paper in the bathroom.- The fan did not work in the bedroom so it was hot all the time.- The shower had barely any water pressure and tons of confusing knobs.- The automatic lock didn't work half the time with the code.- There wasn't any laundry detergent to wash the clothes. - There were...

"There are a few aspects of the apartment that are nice (location and comfortable beds), but unfortunately it is well worn and needs much improvement. It was not a comfortable place to be in given issues below. Brownish water dripped from the ceiling above the toilet in the back bathroom directly on and around the toilet, creating a large puddle on the floor and making the toilet not usable. Other items that should be addressed for future guests include a sink in the same bathroom that does not...
