The Unit was decorated very nicely, just as the pictures showed. The unit was a bit dusty in spots, but generally appeared clean. The host was quite responsive when we had trouble finding the remote for the TV in the bedroom.
Our largest complaints are about what wasn't shared until 1) after we booked the unit and 2) we arrived at the location.
After booking, information about the parking was included in the confirmation note. The closest parking is a block away and it is $40 per day. We spent $120 on parking. The confirmation note also instructed us to park in front of the building with blinkers on to unload the car. That worked out okay. We were able to load our things onto a cart we found in the hallway.
Once we arrived, we learned that the unit was not in a condominium building (which wasn't indicated, it was our assumption). The entrance was a doorway that took us into a hallway with an overwhelming smell of cigarettes next to a bar with loud, live music. With that said, the entrance to the unit is quite secure in that there are two code required doors you must go through to get to the hallway that leads to the unit.
Again, the unit was nice, but we could hear the music from the bar coming from the closet. If you ask, "Why not simply close the closet door?" We did, only to be overwhelmed, once again, by the smell of cigarettes coming from the bar when we opened the closet door the next morning. All of our clothes smelled like cigarettes. As we were packing to leave I noticed the air freshener in the closet. I guess it was meant to disguise the smell. It didn't work. All of our outer clothing (slacks, jeans, sweaters) had to be laundered or sent to the cleansers when we got home. We don't smoke. It would have been nice to know that the unit is position over a bar.
The stay okay, since we left early in the morning and returned in the evening, but we had to walk through the hallway which wreaked of cigarettes every time we entered and and exited the unit -- along with the smell in the closet. Consequently, we wouldn't book it again. I can't help but think that certain information is intentionally not included in the up front description of the unit.
