Great location, listing was incorrect

This is best for a single person or a couple who wants to share a king bed. My friend and I were not a couple and we did not want to share a bed The listing promised a pullout couch, but there was none; turns out there had been a futon, but a previous guest had broken it. It had not been replaced. The host said her assistant was told to change the listing but had not done it. I can’t see how a pullout would’ve fit in there anyway. We didn’t want to spend the time and trouble to find a new place to stay and there weren’t a lot to choose from so we negotiated a discount and stayed the three nights as planned. The room is small, but we didn’t spend much time in it anyway, and the location near the plaza was exactly what we wanted.

Disaster, filthy and gross!

We never stayed. It was so dirty at check in that I immediately called the manager, Amy Gonzales and she agreed to cancel and refund. She said the cleaning girl had a baby? My guess is there was no cleaning girl. It smelled of mold and dirty socks. It was nothing like the pictures and the neighborhood was sketchy. There were cobwebs all over the key box so you couldn't properly return the key without cleaning it out. The furniture was ripped up with dirty blanket and was supposed to be a 3rd bed. Bathroom floors were filthy, human and pet hair on the pillow cases, throw pillows were dirly.

Property not as described

When we got there, the entry code that they gave us was not correct so we had to scramble to get the correct code. And they waited until the last day to give us the code. But more to the point, this place does not live up to its description. Cramped, small and noisy. Semi trucks delivering to the Coop supermarket across the street staring at 3AM. We would not return to this place

Great communication

Communication from the owners was great, simple and straightforward. I would have loved a hot pad to use with the toaster oven. This place is teeny-tiny with not much room to move around. So if you don’t like an “efficiency” style place, I wouldn’t recommend. For one night, it worked for us.
