I got to the place and it was not the same as the listing. I could not stay in the place and contacted them to cancel my booking. Outside the property is where homeless people sleep. I can go on and on. The point is do not book this place ever. We have been contacting them to refund us. The no. They have is a call center and they will just give you a run around. They refused to give us a refund even if we did not stay there. DO NOT BOOK HERE!

Front passcode secured gate was broken (appeared to have been for awhile), the room front door locked into a worn out hole in the frame (no bracket and clearly signs of abuse), WiFi only worked in one room which b/c my data was sketch in CA meant I had no internet in the living room. I reported these things and after a week nothing was done. Did have someone show up to my door because of poor communication on their end but he didn’t even recognize I existed…immediately called front office without even talking to me. Providing something relatively secure and recognizing I exist are kind of baseline for me. Glad I’m out.

Wish there was more than 1 facecloth and 1 hand towel for 2 people. Windows in 1 bedroom didn't fully close, but close enough. Wish the bathroom was a bit bigger. But overall great value choice in a fun neighborhood. Would stay again.

Very tight spot...hard to get to...isolated location in alley. Otherwise it was good.. clean and spacious...the TV couldn't be plugged in as the cord would not reach any outlets so was unusable...perhaps an extension cord added to the unit would be helpful 👍 😀

No hot water. We were unable to shower for the duration of the stay. When I finally got in touch with someone they said they would take care of it. They did not, nor did they contact me with an update.

Not as advertised
This property is not what is advertised on Hotels.com. The address given on the website is not the address of the property, thankfully there were local people who had dealt with other people looking for this property who were very helpful. Getting in touch with the property manager was challenging and getting the required information to check in was difficult. I spent half an hour on the phone trying to get the documents to register and complete the deposit required to get the codes to get into the suite. The main door to the building had a lock and keypad, however someone had jammed a screw into the lock, photo attached below, so it didn’t lock which didn’t give me any feelings of security. The suite is split into 2 parts, the “living room” on one side with a lock and keypad has no window even though there is a couch with a place to sleep, however there wasn’t any bedding to put on it. I called the property manager about the bedding but didn’t get any response. The bedrooms and bathroom were across the hall behind a second door with a lock and keypad. The 2 bedrooms were small, but the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was very small and there was no anti slip coating or mat for the shower in the bathtub which made showering somewhat dangerous. The bathroom sink was cracked in a few places. The kitchen was a folding plastic table and folding chairs with a microwave and coffee maker and some disposable plates and cutlery and a small refrigerator.

Book at your peril - arrived late at night to find both TV's not working, all the electrical outlets in both bedrooms not working, meaning no lamps working and no where to plug my phone/alarm in overnight. In the morning woke up to find that the hot water was not working at all. Reported defects at time of finding them out. Have called 4 times after leaving to speak to someone about this and each time no one is available and someone will call back - they do not. This was intended to be a budget one night stay but entirely not worth the $300 ++ I paid and the $300 security deposit which I am hoping I get back.

This was a comfortable spot in a great location, my only issue was regarding the communication with the rental company. The burden is on you to request check-in information, and I had to call and message them several times before they responded with the information. They also waited until the last minute, to the point where I wasn't sure if I would even have a place to stay. I wish the communication had been better and clearer.

The entrance is not safe. It is in a back alley which is unkept, dirty, graffitied and used as a sleeping place for the homeless. The lock was not working on the door so it was left open all the time for anyone to enter. I did not stay there after seeing this and was refused a refund after numerous attempts to call with no answer.

After I sent the deposit the host did not respond to me, and I was unable to get my room key. I had to stay at a different hotel for the night and they will not give me a refund. Stay away if you don’t want to get scammed.

I cannot say I would stay at Kensington Apartments again. The apartment itself was clean, running water, good pressure, provided a fridge with freezer, and a smart TV. No air conditioning, however, and we were hot as hell. We had to keep the windows open at night, only one of which actually opened properly. We booked for 5 people, and while there were 2 queen beds and a pull-out couch, the couch had no sheets or covers available. It was also kind of gross. The apartment was divided in two units, both of which are accessible through a code. Despite that, I did not really feel safe there. The doors were wonky, and the main door downstairs (also accessible through a code) was broken and always unlocked. There is free parking, but I have no idea how it works, and people were double parked in front of one another. I had purchased a street permit from the city and was very glad I had. What else? Staff is helpful, but there was no one on site. Everything is done via WhatsApp or phone. The cleaning staff I ran into once was really sweet and gave us extra sheets. Also, there’s a safety deposit required, not done via Expedia. Which I think isn’t supposed to be a thing? All in all, it wasn’t terrible. But it wasn’t great either.

read the reviews before renting this place, the pictures are not the same as what they offer, the picture is supposed to have a kitchen and a big table but it is not like that, we rented the place for 5 people and it was supposed to have 3 beds and a sofa bed but there were only 2 beds, this place is extremely weird, it is in a hostile area, outside it is full of graffiti and pigeon poop, the first entrance that you are supposed to put a code in does not work, it is open all the time so anyone can enter and it also gives you access to the garage so anyone can enter there too, the room where we stayed is divided into 2 rooms, one where the living room is and the other where there are 2 rooms, which is quite strange because you would expect everything to be together, it is worth mentioning that there is no reception or anyone in charge of the place so if you need help no one is going to solve anything for you, when I called to ask why the photos that appeared on the site were different the person who helped me only gave me excuses, I asked why the kitchen that was in the photos was not there and why that the air conditioning did not work to which he said that we had a small table with a microwave and that the AC worked perfectly which is not true, I also have my doubts about the refund of the deposit and how reliable it is, since looking at the other reviews I realize that many people did not get their deposit back and I also have my doubts about them stealing your identity
