Renovated Far-West Midtown Apt

Renovation Isn’t Finished This is probably one of the worst places I’ve stayed. I can’t believe I’m paying basically my whole month’s rent for a week at a home that’s falling apart. The host was nice enough and kind of responsive. Nothing against him but whoever he hired to renovate the place ripped him off. First, the place looks condemned from the outside. The screen door doesn’t open from the outside unless you force. The electronic door lock works with an app. The third day, the electronic lock stopped working. The host came by when we insisted it needed to be fixed. He said it slipped out of place, but it sounded like the motor died. We insisted we get the physical keys then. The e-lock worked intermittently the rest of the time so we gave up. Many of the cabinets in the kitchen had open boxes like someone just dropped things while renovating and left it there. I will say the new appliances all worked. There was a waffle maker that hadn’t been cleaned in what looked like weeks—food waste left inside and crusted over. It also had ants crawling inside and out. We realized we couldn’t take care of that so we put it outside. The place had an ant infestation. It’s the south in summer so ants happen, but they were a lot. We informed the host, pest control came 3 days later. He sprayed outside the house but never came in. We ended up spending money to get rid of the ants. There were roaches crawling in all over. And the cold water shower handle was broken. Too much for 1500 characters.

Great stay Good host very helpful
