This place COULD be great. The owners and the property manager are all aware of the problems with this condo and I feel bad for them. The issues sound complicated to fix because of some plumbing problem related to the restaurant downstairs. This is too bad, because this condo is in a perfect location with a fantastic view, and is quite roomy (well except for the tiny, outdated kitchen). There are two balconies you can look out over the Italian restaurant below and out to the mountains. The balconies are spacious but have no furniture. That is the least of the problems with this place though.
1-There is some type of plumbing issue which has caused them to forbid the guests of the condo from using one of the showers! Long and complex story of all that has been done to try to fix this.
2-The bathroom lighting is horrible, with some of the actual ballasts in need of replacing, the best we could tell. Bathroom countertops are exactly like a Best Western...no drawers or real cabinets; just that cultured marble stuff with the plumbing all showing underneath. There are loose floor tiles in one of the bathrooms--maybe both.
3-The fireplace, although it works great, is very noisy and does not put off much heat at ALL.
4-There is a bad smell when the water is first turned on...a sulphur-ish smell I think.
5-The kitchen range is ancient and very small. The kitchen is very small itself. The dishwasher needs to be replaced NOW. It is pitiful. The cabinets are old and don't have handles or knobs. The cooking supplies are in hard-to-reach places. The inside of the cabinets are disgusting. I felt I had to wash every dish or pot or pan I took out.
Good things: 1- The view, like I said. 2- The balconies although they are in need of furniture. 3- The beds are very comfy. 4- The roominess. 4- The location.
Owners, please remodel! (If it is possible to get around the issues with the restaurant downstairs; whatever is happening with that.) This could be a great rental. We would be back if these issues were solved. Overall it needs a COMPLETE REMODEL except for the beds. Thanks for reading.
