The listing was completely inaccurate. We were dramatically misled about the size of the space. The pictures were incredibly misleading, and we had explained previously that we had wanted to have a birthday party there because of the small size of our apartment. We have now had to move the party to a different location because of this inconvenience, defeating the purpose of renting this in the first place. We are very unhappy with this experience. Also there is no parking.

Not as advertised. The place was super small, with an outdated bathroom, filthy sofa, tiny kitchen, no views of hills. There were only 2 of us and can’t believe it says that 8 can stay. We spend cold nights, heater was not reaching master bedroom. There was no parking in the street and our designated spot was taken. The backyard area posted as good for parties, had trash, boxes with something hard to move, old fire wood, cans of paint, leaves on floor and furniture everywhere. Owners knew we were hosting a child party and were not good at communicating. Super expensive for what it was. Stay away from this property.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This is the worst rental property I’ve ever stayed at in my life. The couch is filthy stained, the front door handle fell off, the bathroom sink handles fell off, the kitchen is tiny and old, everything is too sticky to open. They left no toilet paper, no soap, shampoo, & most importantly NO HOT WATER. Backyard is inaccessible. Photos shown in the listing are highly edited and don’t meet quality standards in real life.I’ve sent 3 messages to the host & he didn’t respond to any of them. PLEASE Avoid this place at all costs.
Unfortunately, this couch didn’t meet expectations. It was already stained, creaked loudly whenever anyone sat on it, and wasn’t very comfortable. Didn’t look like the listing photos at all.
Front door handle fell off upon arrival. Seriously?

the place was nice and clean but the listing was not accurate with the description of the property. when i checked in the host notified me that the backyard and laundry was off limits. i booked the place because it said birthday celebrations were welcome and because the backyard and laundry. it would’ve been nice to be notified of this before checking into the place. other than that the place was very pretty and comfortable and in a great location.

Beware of this place! Do not recommend it!

This Place has been one of the dirtiest places I’ve ever stayed at. Stinky and broken dishwasher which wouldn’t stop beeping all night long. Shower’s water pressure low, and shower’s doorframe was nasty. Located super close to airport and railways , loud noises all night long. I had asked previously to property manager about noise due to location near the airport and railway and property manager lied and stated it’s “tucked in” so I wouldn’t hear anything. I Communicated some concerns to property manager as soon as I got there and he just told me to “cancel reservation if I didn’t like it”. My family and I were traveling from out of town with nowhere else to stay so cancelling was not an option. He didn’t even try to hear me out. The place advertises that is for 8 people but there’s only enough silverware and dishware for 4. The kitchen table was so uncomfortable that only 2 people can sit in there. There was not even enough toilet paper for one night for a party of 8, less than half a roll in the house. Zero communication on how to put together the “queen bed” in living room. The outside patio was messy and someone else’s wetsuits lying in the patio. Not private like advertised. No washer or dryer in unit. No cleaning products in the home. Very basic utensils in kitchen. The house overall is very old, very dirty and lacks all the basic necessities to be a comfortable rental.
