I received a message from the owner that she could meet us Only at 17:00. I answered that hopes we could conform to her schedule. When we arrived at first glance, I realized this place was a dump. It’s a very old unmaintained building not charismatic at all Lots of Garbage all around building. It is 100% NOT a LOFT style room/ apt at all. When entering the building, you could smell the sewer as you walk up 4 flights of stairs to the second floor. Entering the very small apartment there was an overwhelming waft of deodorizer. Obvious to cover smells. They were diffuser sticks, and they were gagging. I tried to air out the place without luck . But once I gathered most of the diffuser sticks, I put them underneath the bathroom cupboard and closed it and shut the door to bathroom it was then bare able. Bathroom small and shower as well. Finally, the place aired out a bit. For some strange reason they were rocks all over the place on the floors on the counters on top of towels. I would not describe the place eclectic decor. It’s very, very dated. The kitchen chairs were cheap plastic card table chairs. Place is small not cozy. King size bed is Not King its a queen size bed. Mattress is on the old metal creaky springs and every time you move it squeak squeak, squeak. Old futon in the next room not a sofa bed. No extra linen but one extra blanket. Bath towel thins and were like start starched cardboard. Slim to none communication with the owner. There was NO offers of beach towels, sun beds, pool or bicycles.
There is major construction across the street and I believe they are building three huge apartment buildings. Bobcat, cement trucks etc. all day. There was a big crane that swing around all night because of the wind I thought it was gonna come crashing through front window. In the morning the traffic started about 6:30 am and that was all day long as well.
My rating is 1 * and no more. Couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
