Cute apartment, Nice building, Challenges with temperature/ climate control
The Good (and it was mostly good!)- The apartment is lovely - very much like the photos show. The space is well maintained and comfortable, building was nice, and logistics for getting in and out were very easy. - The neighborhood has a variety of restaurants, coffee shops, and corner stores within a few blocks. Lots of access to public transit, and two hour metered parking on the street.- Host responded quickly through the app though some answers (possibly AI generated) were not actually helpful.The Challenges- The thermostat was locked to AC only, even though the temp was in the mid 50s. The host said the building switches from heat to AC on May 1, citing (a probable misinterpretation of) city heating ordinance. There was a small space heater that took several hours to heat the apartment. Once the apartment is heated, the space heater is enough to keep it warm. But we had to get out of bed several times each night to turn the heater off, back on, etc since it's not connected to a thermostat.- I communicated to the host and got several different responses. The first reply seemed AI generated, saying it was "Happy to inform you" that the building has transitioned to AC for the season. Later the host offered possible compensation but never followed up. Prior to checkout the host asked me to share issues/ feedback prior to leaving a review. I detailed the heating issue and received responses that seemed auto generated.
