This property was advertised as an entire apartment. It’s not. It’s a finished basement with very low (7-1/2 feet) ceilings, very dark and dreary, in need of serious maintenance and upgrades.
The most serious problem is that the unit doesn’t have its own heating and A/C. Instead, there’s a single heating-A/C unit for both floors, but installed in the upper level and only controllable from the upper apartment. When it’s cold, the lower apartment doesn’t get enough heat and is uncomfortably cold. When it’s warm, enough A/C for the upper level is too much for the lower apartment.
Second problem is there’s no sound insulation between the upper and lower units, so the lower one is really noisy.
Third, the ice maker isn’t connected, and the coffee maker leaks.
And finally, the hosts insist that you start to wash towels and take out garbage before you leave, as well as other tasks which really shouldn’t be the guests’ responsibility.
