더 워터프런트 아파트먼트

The property is located near the campus of Google, Facebook, and a host of IT companies. That is where the good part of the story ends. 1. It is literally spy novel of steps to gain access to the apartment. You must seek out a key, wait for someone that never comes but you get a mysterious text, and then a series of images on how to gain access to the flat. It was a huge hassle. 2. The flat was not very clean, the windows were dirty, the glass wall on the wrap around balcony was filthy, the outdoor furniture disgusting, and kitchen cleaned in a cursory manner. 3. The master bedroom had mold on the ceiling (stay away), the bottoms of doors all ripped up, the drains in the bathrooms did not work, mattress were AWFUL, and internet did not work. 4. The owners of the flat are clearly from the Middle East with a distant customer relationship. Idid not like the approach at all from check in to problem resolution. 5. To give credit, within 24 hours the moldy ceiling was painted, drains unclogged, and one new mattress purchased. Beyond that, THE PROMOTIONAL PICTURES ARE AN ILLUSION. THE FURNITURE WAS LIKE MY COLLEGE DORM ROOM, SCRATCHED, MARRED, AND WORN. THIS IS NOT A LUXURY FLAT. 6. We met the owners on the last day. One came in his business power suit as thought to impress or intimidate. Either way, that made me all the more wary. 7. We wanted $200 credit to buy a dinner for my family as a way to make amends. SURPRISE. IT WAS NEVER PAID.

The apartment looks nothing like the picture on hotels.com. The worst part is that there was major construction right outside of our corner 1st floor apartment and it started at 6am which woke us up everyday and went all day until 5. It was so loud that I couldn’t even think. I told the person who gave us the keys but he didn’t care. I wanted to leave but paid upfront so I was stuck there and not one person who worked for the apartment helped us out. I booked this 5 months before our stay. You would think that I would have been notified about the construction before I arrived so I could have made other plans. We were there for a whole week and that’s not exactly what you expect on vacation. When we arrived I had concerns about the construction but was told that they were done. I feel like I was taken in Dublin. Seriously we were miserable!
