nicely located, but had bedbugs and dangerous stairs
This property was in a great location in Toledo. Overall, the apartment was nicely equipped, and the host was helpful and good at communicating.
However, we experienced a major problem in that the property had bed bugs. We saw them for the first time the morning after our first night and continued to see them throughout our stay. Big well-fed adults. The apartment did not seem like it was cleaned very well, and there is no clothes dryer to apply heat to linens to kill them. Given how many there were and that we found a blanket wrapped up in a garbage bag (which in retrospect was probably an attempt to kill bedbugs in an infested blanket), we suspect that this was a known issue to the host prior to our stay.
A lesser but still serious problem is that the stairs in this place are quite dangerous in my opinion. There is a spiral staircase with slick steps and a large vertical distance between them. I slipped on the stairs when going down them once and got pretty badly bruised. Someone could really get hurt on them, and I am thankful my injury resolved on its own and did not require medical attention. The top of the stairs is along a main route through the property and could be a risk of a child playing at the top of the stairs, slipping, and falling down them. It appeared that the stairs have a gate at the top but that the gate has been soldered open so that it cannot be closed. The whole situation with the stairs just seems downright unsafe.
