1st, I sent an email on 9/14/24 to the property owner asking if towels and linens were included with the stay so that I could be prepared ahead of time. Not 1 response.
2nd, the day prior to my arrival, the Owner emailed to ask me what time I would be checking in because there are late fees for check-ins past 10PM. Still no response regarding my email about linens & towels.
I called to ask for direction to his establishment because there were no visible signs on the street. His 1st response was "what phone # did you call me on? WhatsApp?" Thought that was odd, but ok. He tells me to wait on the street corner about a block away and he will come get me. His version of getting me was sticking his head out of the door and screaming my name. odd, but again, ok.
I get inside and had quite a bit of luggage, and this man watched me struggle the entire time of hauling it up 3 flights of stairs.
He and his daughter (I believe it was, or possibly his wife) escorted me to my room, but not after the owner took a very nasty bowel movement in the guest bathroom, and then had the audacity to show me the room.
Once I got to the room i'd be staying in, the 1st thing I notice is the smell and the loud noise of the street workers. The window was being propped propped with a
stick, the room had a musk smell and the noise on the street would have been way to loud to sleep.
Finally, they tell me there is no one on the property between the hours of 1pm to 10pm.
