Area around the property did not feel safe. Renovation of interior is relatively new, but average quality, no windows and a cold feeling inside. The main issue is the environment in front of the building and especially in the rear where most available parking is found. The photos do not show the vacant buildings and the fact that there was little to no sense of security in this downtown area. Upon arrival, I took a look around the apartment, walked around a few blocks, and immediately wrote to the host explaining that I would not be staying. Of course, they offered no refund, see reply:
"I talked and looked further into our cancellation policy and we are unable to refund due to the timeline of the cancellation and it not allowing us to be able to get anyone else into the property and we had it blocked off for your stay. We hope you understand and we would love to host you again sometime in the future!"
I've now seen other negative reviews of this management company, and should have looked into this further before trusting the listing and losing $127
