Magnolia APT 2

It's always a relaxing stay, good location, real nice staff, and cleaners are very nice and they all try to help with any questions and the place has everything you need to cook, relax in the living room and beds are very comfortable. Thanks for another great stay.

Location

Quiet time for adults was a little early and somewhat unclear

The property itself is good, including the location and all the facilities inside. The problem is the host!

On one of the days of my stay, I was woken up by the terrible noise above me. This is a two-level building and the flat is located on the second, so nothing is above. It turns out that the host decided to order the maintenance of the roof during my stay without letting me know. The workers were climbing the stairs just behind my window desturbing my privacy. Also, the workers were not aware I am incide since they were quite surprised when I exited the building. (pictures are attached) A similar situation repeats on the pre-last day of my stay: two workers rang my doorbell and informed me that they had to paint one of the rooms. How should I slip then, after that? So I didn't let them in, at least because I wasn't informed about their coming by the host! In the evening, I received an angry message from the host, that "this is unacceptable" not to let his workers in since this is his property! (see the screenshot attached) Well, I think it's not acceptable to do maintenance while you're renting your property to someone! I was lucky the next morning I was leaving, so I there was no need to deal with this. Also, disturbing the privacy is against Michigan law, even if you rent a property on Booking!

I liked the location, having a whole unit to myself, the appearance of the inside regarding the furniture and tvs, 2 beds and the basic traveling needs... Kitchen & bathroom necessities, and reading materials.

I didn't like that the power had gone off (lights and heat) after me being there for over an hour, (I left on 3 occasions, thinking by the time I returned everything would be back on. No one responded to any of my calls. Eventually, someone responded through email that was like, hmm, 6 hours after, I had made several phone calls. I kept getting the voice recording, so I eventually sent an email. In response to my email, they mentioned that they were out there within 20 minutes. The booking.com app I used sent me to use the phone number. In addition, I didn't like that, I had you clean up under the living room furniture and the bedroom beds... Beds may need some oil or new frames, which were noisy. And that's just from sleeping. You guys definitely need new blinds. They were very exposed. Could use some curtains to cover that up. Also, they could have used newer wash towels... they were faded. Shower curtains came down 2 times while showering. Lastly, I couldn't control the heat. The maintenance man came out to turn the utilities back on, mentioning the room heater they provided in the bedroom... it caused the power to go out. And I inquired about the heat... he mentioned, "The temperature was set at 72". During the cold season?🤧 I posted a few pictures and also have a video of my initial viewing of the property. In conclusion. Making the thermostat more accessible (or considerate), a more thorough cleaning, a more timely follow-up for calls, and cleaner linen-bathroom supplies and privacy blinds. Correct these, and this could be a 10 review. Also, just to clarify, the aforementioned are basic regardless of the rate. 🫡

The only good point for us was its location on our midpoint of a long drive. Oh, and there was hand soap in the bathroom.

Where do we start?....there was a cockroach in the bath. There was about 20 seconds of warm water in the shower, and then no more. We left the dodgy tap running for a good 10 mins, and no hot water appeared, so we had to have cold showers. No fun. Apparently, according to other, more recent reviews, there is a new boiler, but it certainly didn't benefit us. The floor in the bedroom felt very unsafe, and uneven, and the whole place smelled revolting. We would not recommend anyone to stay here, and we will DEFINITELY avoid this property in future.

It was in a great location, it was very clean and the owner was very helpful

The apartment is a little bit older and rundown, but having said that they keep it very clean and orderly.
