Prior to making a reservation, I read the reviews. They were mixed but one caught my attention: “Not safe. Do not stay here.” After my one week stay, I totally and completely agreed with that review. Due to deranged drivers and their ultra loud jalopies, the apartment was super uncomfortable. Due to clueless people who won’t take “NEVER” for an answer - they had keys to the adjacent apartments and caused all sorts of unpleasantness. They made the entire building feel unsafe.
During the first three days and nights, I heard disturbances caused by inconsiderate and undesirable people attempting to make contact when no contact is desirable. On the fourth and subsequent days and nights, the disturbances turned into torture. Someone would go to the apartment above mine and pound the ceiling with a heavy metal object.
At first glance, the apartment looked alright. When I attempted to close the roller blinds, their beaded chain split into two in the living room and came all the way to the floor in the bedroom. Those curtains do not allow for any privacy. The roll of toilet paper fell to the floor when I touched it; its handle was broken. In the kitchen, an unwashed pan had grease in it. The colander had a sticky, unwashed substance in its perforations.
When moving my luggage outside the apartment, I met two housekeeping staff. The female reeked of perfume; it was unbearable. While I arranged my luggage outside, she kept banging the kitchen cabinets doors with full force.
