Don’t Believe The Reviews On Here
We booked our weekend trip to st Augustine months ago for my partner and a friend of ours to enjoy the city and attend a wedding while here. We were charmed when we see the photos for this listing and saw that it didn’t have an outrageous price listing. As it got closer to the date we saw some negative reviews pop up for the listing and got concerned and thought about cancelling. Before I did though I reached out to the property manager and asked them about the reviews. The property manager put my mind at ease and was able to send over 100 positive reviews on different site that made our group feel more confident about keeping this listing for the weekend. There were some pros and cons. The parking I will say like the other listings mentioned is not the best. The neighborhood doesn’t look the safest and to park my car near the street instead of inside the gated area did confuse me and make me a little uneasy. It seems they have neighbors or other tenants in other part of the home that they reserve the parking for inside the gated area. But to be honest there is so much space in the gated area and the neighbor or tenant only had one car that we could see there was definitely room to fit another car. The other con is that you will legit be right next to the train and train tracks and the train will go by multiple times in the night. Shaking the loft, screeching sounds of metal, and the blowing of the horn as it passed by. It woke me up 5 times the first night. However this place has a lot of charm and I can tell the property managers really do put a lot of effort to make sure that you and your party feel welcome. Some pros are they had a binder with local activities and just guidelines which was helpful, two doors that lock that provides more security, beautifully furnished with cute touches like writing my name on the chalkboard welcoming my party, candies, and water already filtered for us. They can’t control the train but they are aware and did provide ear plus for those who want them for the night. I personally don’t like sticking things like that in my ear and would suggest ear muffs if you want to muffle the train but them thinking ahead to solve the issue was noticed and appreciated. Also you will be 7 mins away from downtown and the tourist spots most people will want to see while here. I think if they just figured out how they can get cars in the gated area they would have gotten 5 stars from me.Overall cute, thoughtful, and convenient.
