April 2025 5.00Perfect for Plant workers looking for a place to rest after work.

April 2025 5.00Robin's place is clean and most importantly, beds are comfortable. Neighborhood looks fine, but maybe just our luck that our car got broken into twice. Robin, however, is a great host. Easy to communicate with, she's proactive and responds quickly. Also, loved the small things that other places don't have that makes a big difference, i.e. night light and laundry pods!

March 2025 5.00I had a hysterectomy and we needed somewhere to stay close to the facility since we are from out of state. Climbing upstairs was unfortunate but the closeness of all the rooms was extremely convenient. Definitely would recommend!

February 2025 5.00We recently completed a 15-day stay at Robin’s place in a 2nd floor apartment. We were visiting our son and family and helping them with some home improvement projects. On arrival, we were greeted by fresh flowers on the kitchen table. Though it is an older property, the paint is fresh, with attractive colors. Though we did not eat many meals there except breakfast, the kitchen was adequately equipped, with pretty blue dishes. We were concerned about finding a parking space in front of the building, but in 15 days, we always found a spot in front on our return in the evening. There was a loss of hot water during our stay and the hot water heater had to be replaced, but it was taken care of within 24 hours. The king size bed was quite comfortable. Most days, we were only there in the early am and evening and found it to be very quiet. Robin was helpful and responsive to our questions. In sum, it met our needs very well!

January 2025 5.00My partner and I had a great stay here! The space is excellent - big open living room, decent kitchen and bathroom, lots of natural light, super comfortable king bed. The place was clean and tidy and had lots of extra touches that made it a great stay, like laundry baskets and detergent. The neighborhood is quiet and just a few blocks from the green line. Robin was so kind and proactive with helpful info about the place.

January 2025 1.00We only stayed one out of the five nights we paid for, leaving after the first night. The apartment had a strong, pungent smell of sewage. The apartment was in need of a thorough deep clean, had a grimy feel, sticky floors, dirty fridge and cobwebs and stains on the ceilings. We complained to the host and she offered to move us to another unit in the building. This was a smaller one bed apt not suitable for a family of three. We asked to leave and for a refund and were told we were in a contract with them and upholding their cancellation policy. Had we known the apartment had a terrible smell and in need of a proper clean at the time of booking we obviously never would have entered that agreement. Trying to communicate with Robin was like talking to A.I (possibly using Chat GBT to draft her responses due to her total lack of genuine empathy). After unsuccessfully trying to resolve the matter with Robin we contacted Airbnb and were compensated in kind for our negative experience.
