Good location, needs work

Good location in terms of being close to nightlife, worked okay for stampede but quite a few unhoused people in this area. In terms of cleanliness/upkeep, we were not super impressed with the apartment. The entire place smelt sort of musty/ damp, the numbers were falling off the door, the closet door and curtain rods kept falling off on their own, and the shower curtain looked dirty among other things. Also could not lock the windows. Based on the pictures, we expected a more modern/ new place, especially for the amount we paid, but that was not the case. We did appreciate that the host would respond pretty quickly to messages, but we wouldn’t stay again.
