Millburn Apartment

Hmm. Where do I start with this place? I didn’t receive an email prior to arriving with directions or the lock box key code. Going off the Expedia info the cab driver took us to the wrong place. Google doesn’t recognize the address and defaults to a property down the road. Having never been there and left at the wrong location I was able to get a message to the host who then gave us the code. Somehow the code worked at the wrong location. After a few more messages and a phone call we realized we were in the wrong place. A 5 min walk up the road we finally found it. No outside light for the lock box. The place is grungy on the outside and I’d wished we’d booked at the neighbouring Christen Hotel. Upon entering, the apartment smells musty and mouldy. It was late by the time we finally got in so we were all off to bed. Our bed was damp. The whole place felt damp. It’s a well set up place but it’s quite small. Especially if you are from North America. Tiny kitchen, tiny living and dining area. There are gross throw rugs everywhere. The furniture is tired. The beds are lump and terribly uncomfortable. The 3rd bed is a futon that dubs as a couch and it’s low and terrible to get on and off of if you are above the age of 30. The kitchen has basics, all the dishes are chipped. There is a washing machine, no dryer. The chairs for the table are folding chairs. Very uncomfortable and not sturdy. Overall we found this to be in a nice location, but it fell short of the photos.

Location and size of property

The rugs made it look grubby, I would get rid of those

The location was very convenient, and parking was on site. The unit itself was grungy, throw rugs were dirty, and the unit smelled bad. Beds were lumpy and the linens were rough. I called the manager, who sent someone over with a plug in air freshener. Don’t stay here.

The apartment is just a few minutes walk away from the city center. There is also parking available and the area is safe.

On the first morning we realized that there was only one dining chair, which was broken. We called the host who said he will bring new chairs soon. At around 9:30AM we also lost electric power. I called the host and since we couldn't do anything in the apartment, we left to the city center. We came back at 4:30 and there was still no electricity and no chairs. After several calls to the host, someone turned up at 5:30 to put credit in the meter, because they use a pre-paid electricity meter. However, he said that he still didn't have any chairs. The chairs were delivered later that evening at around 7PM. Extremely disappointed because we had no electricity for a day out of negligence, and it took them 8 hours to come and add credit to the meter. The apartment had a few other minor issues, but nothing worth mentioning / hassling over. Those two issues were enough to ruin our stay.

Apartment was in acceptable condition and the location was just 20 minutes by foot from the city center. Warm water pressure is terrible, takes very long and showering is not comfy. Parking in designated area. All kitchenware was provided and everything worked. Not sufficient chairs in dining room for 4 persons.

Good location Very noisy. Next to a hotel/pub, which was busy till late, then early morning deliveries. Neighbours were very loud. Right behind a school, the sports field was virtually outside the lounge window and was in use through the day and in the evening until late

Clean , quiet , good communication with host
