Penthouse suite in heart of little Italy

Let me start with the good. It was a really nice location with a responsive host. There was a gas fire pit on the deck that was out of gas and the host had a full tank dropped off within an hour of request. The same deck you could tell was recently rebuilt, which was nice, but the pile of debris, scrap wood and nails was all left out along the wall. The rest of the place looked unfinished. Back screen door from the deck that was main entrance had no handle and no cylinder to make it close on its own. Half of the inside trim around rear door was gone and conduit hanging out. Hunk of shower tile around shower door was gone. One ceiling air vent was half dangling and the other completely gone that I later noticed in the closet. Only the cold faucet handle worked in master bath. Kitchen faucet was loose. Overall the place looked unfinished. Not a bad place, but fix what needs to be fixed before renting it again. It also needs some pots and pans.

It all looks great in pictures, but terrible upkeep of the place. The shower stalls are broken, toilets don’t run properly. The doors don’t close properly. Patio was full of junk and you could not enjoy it fully as there were large pieces of junk and trash and bricks lying around. Worst of all you can’t even enter from front door because lock doesn’t work properly, have to go all the way around the street to the back entrance, and even then the screen door was broken. Overall, for how much the owner is charging per night, he can definitely afford to fix the place up a little bit. There were holes in the wall in the master bedroom. There’s no curtains in the living room and the windows are quite big so the sun heats up the place quite fast. Additionally at night, there is no privacy as there is a massive club right across the street and everyone can see inside the living room. Pictures don’t tell the whole story. The location was great as its close to restos and cafe’s.
