The apartment was just as pictured. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. Convenient location to Manito and downtown. The owner did not respond once we were checked and there was no ironing board in the apartment (we were attending a wedding) but luckily I ran into the housekeeper who found one for me in another apartment. The washing machine in this unit is requested not to be used because it leaks but there is access to the laundry room in the basement. Unfortunately, the water pressure in both the bathroom and kitchen sinks was practically down to a trickle and the bathtub does not drain which is especially a problem when multiple people are showering consecutively.Recommendation: Little Euro cafe across the street was delicious with huge portions!
Great place, great location only one thing to beware of
Decsription indicates will sleep 7-8, and it will with a bit of flexibility. The description of the beds, other than in the bedrooms is a bit uninformative. There is a single fold out bed and two full size couches in the living room, we also found a single size foam pad and a mattress in the closets, and bedding. There are lots of closets and the old residence has been lovingly restored to maintain the old charm.
The apartment has a lot of charm. The heating situation is another story. It was so cold in there, especially in the morning. We tried many different ways to get it warmer. The shower sprayed very hard but directly into the wall making it quite difficult to shower. Plugging in a phone to charge was a challenge to find plugs that worked.
Booked Sept 2024 for 10 days over Christmas. Unfortunately after 3 days the owner said he couldnât fix the issues that kept piling up putting our vacation on hold for 3 days (including Christmas Eve Day & Christmas Day) trying to resolve our issues, then finding new accommodations. The first issue we had was checking in, the suite hadnât been cleaned. We contacted the owner, who admitted that he forgot to schedule to have the suite cleaned. He sent someone out to clean the place, but we had to wait 2 hrs outside to check in. Once checked in, we found that the suite was in disrepair. (a badly leaky kitchen faucet and broken washing machine). The owner said he wasnât able to get it repaired before we checked in. We all took tepid showers because of the faucet leak. There was a coating of grease in the oven that smoked out the entire suite. The suite does not sleep 8 people. One king, one queen, one foot ottoman that can be used with one twin mattress. Thatâs 5 people. The couch does not fold down per the VRBO description. The owner said he was having a handyman come to the property on Christmas Eve by 1 PM. When no one showed, the owner was going to send someone else out. By the time someone came out (it was not a professional plumber), the stores were closed. The owner offered to refund our money if we found alternative accommodations. Finding a new place on Christmas Day and cancelling this 4 month old booking was not a merry Christmas.
Cool place, bad communication. Would love to have chosen different.
Great little place. Vintage feel with modern touches. Fully furnished with great small amenities like bedding, towels, toiletries, digital entertainment with internet. Stayed cool, with great window air flow and a nice patio.
Tried to to book two nights, but it only booked me for one - More of a VRBO issue but the communication with the owner was BAD. I immediately tried to text and contact the owner but they were so late with the reply (next day) that hope of adding a day or cancelling was to far gone. Sucked for us to have to scramble to find another place. Either way the communication with the owner was super slow.
When we arrived, the front keypad door was wide open....so was the front door. Arrived late at night so you could imagine how my wife was entering the premise. I had to go through the whole house making sure there wasn't any bums or vagrants inside. She was very uncomfortable there after that and when we notified the owner it seemed like they thought it wasn't a big deal. Well it is SPOO-COMPTON, so anything is possible. Although this location is on a better side of Spokane it was still very uneasy for the first couple hours.
Extremely hard to find, especially at night. There's nothing from anyside of the streets that indicate address or parking. The written directions are good but physical navigation was really hard.
Overall, I'd say great visually but I don't think we'll be staying here again just based on communication from the owner.
The apartment was gross. There were Chunks of food and a dirty towel on floor, the garbage can was nearly full, the carpet was filthy and the kitchen sink was leaking. We did not stay there and asked for a refund, which is pending.
Great older house conveniently located in the heart of Spokaneâs South Hill. The rooms were spacious and well appointed. I especially liked the large outside deck which was perfect for an evening beer and a book (I felt like I was in a treehouse!). The AC was able to keep up with 100+ temperatures during our stay. Great neighborhood for walking and just a couple of blocks from Manito Park. Hope to stay here again!
The main thing that we disappointed with was the state of the deck, which was the reason we booked. I had to wipe down all of the deck furniture before we could use it. The BBQ was also a draw but it was absolutely filthy. I spent a good half hour wiping it down prior to us using it, plus there wasnât adequate propane to cook a steak. The response to drop off more was excellent though.
The rest of the unit was just fine. Iâd suggest doing something with the shower tap as itâs hard to get the water to flow only to the shower head and the result is that youâre showering in ankle deep water.
