The bathroom fixtures were new
I stepped on a piece of glass outside the bathroom
The rug was not only dirty and stained in places it covered a floor that had boards that were missing you sank into an uneven floor
We were 2 guests and got only 1 wash cloth and 1 towel. We messaged the property but never received a response.
There is no place to hang a wet towel in the bathroom
No hooks if any kind anywhere to hang anything like a coat etc
There was no cup provided in the bathroom to rinse your mouth
There were MOUSE TRAPS IN OUR ROOM AND SEVERAL IN THE HALL.
WE GOT 2pillows 1 with a sham cover that matched the duvet 1 with a white case the sham cover could not be removed. Which made me worry it may not have been laundered regularly as it was a decorative piece.
The bed is pressed up against the wall on one side making it difficult for a second person to get out of bed

The shower was cute
The fact that we had to pay a security deposit and that place look the way it did….. its basically a house with rooms that be having smokers in there. The room was ant infested and the rug was nasty, we had to put a sheet down to walk. It’s no tv no nothing, just a bed and a little table with a coffee pot and the bathroom.

Luck of WiFi in the room. WiFi coverage available anywhere except room C2. bathroom floor is leaking. Mattress was terrible. Reimbursable deposit of $100 or $200 +$4 (depends on the room) service fee will be charged after booking.

Location
The property management were not helpful at all. I accidentally selected this rental and I tried to cancel it. It took 20 minutes to figure out how to reach someone. Within that timeframe they insisted that It wasn’t an accident and it was no refund able. But I had tried to select a refundable unit. So in order not to loose 200.00 I came anyway. Then they had hidden fees about security on another document. And how to pay them. Once I arrived my room wasn’t ready. I had to ask for my code. I There wasn’t any heat in the entire floor including my room or bathroom. No hot water in the bathroom sink. And They just kept saying they are working on it. I froze. Got a cold.. ended up missing two meetings and they finally sent over a small space heater outside by door dash which I had to go downstairs outside in the cold and pick up and figure out how to use with frozen hands. It didn’t work at first either. But I figured it out. I didn’t sleep much here. I spent most of my time trying to plead with them and they wouldn’t bend to give me any money back. Change my room or extend my stay in a heated room. They finally just gave me this heater but it doesn’t go everywhere nor heat the other room or water. It doesn’t justify my treatment. I have a disability and I should have been treated better.

Letto ampio e comodo, presenza del wifi, lampada centrale luminosa e grande.
Assenza di punti d'appoggio, né sedia né tavolino né comodino (ma nelle foto c'erano!); infissi fatiscenti e senza adeguato riparo dalla luce del lampione di fronte alla finestra; moquette non ben spazzata; a testa unicamente un asciugamano di dimensioni medie ed uno piccolissimo, senza asciugamano da doccia (per un soggiorno di quattro giorni!); per ogni esigenza, richiesta di una cifra aggiuntiva (anche per avere degli asciugamani decenti); minaccia di sanzioni monetarie per ogni minimo sgarro; informazioni sull'accesso date all'ultimo; mancato rimborso delle spese bancarie per l'invio della cauzione.

The location is quite easy to found. But it has a bad smell and it is very dirty.

Not much
It felt shady that the Host required an additional $100 security deposit fee minutes before I arrived and wanted the access code information. The property was run down and I saw a huge bug, which resembled a cockroach, (Host called it a water bug when I sent a picture of it) scuttling on bathroom floor. Carpet and towels stained and dingy. You can get a cleaner and much better booking for the same price range.

The check in & out procedures and security process was great.
The room itself was bigger than i though.
I used my own bedding sheets and bath towels so i don't know if they were clean or not.
The bathroom was clean and seems to be recently remodeled.
Room with A/C.
Great price.
I've got my deposit refunded 4 days after my checkout. (I recommend everyone to take checkin & checkout pictures just in case).
Responsive team through chat.
Hot shower.
the fournitures were very old, dirty and with marks of coffee cups, they definitely needs to be replaced or at least repainted.
The room was dirty, marks on the carpet, A/C dirty.
Didn't provide garbage bags, we stayed there for 2 nights and we wanted to empty it multiple time but there was just one.

Nothing !!
I took photos of bugs crawling on
our pillows and bed.
The rugs smell and are filthy.
I stayed here before and made the same complaints last time.
I would have thought you would have rectified these problems by now,
but apparently NOT!

I was visiting a friend and needed a place to stay and gave it a shot, was very happy. Rob is a great guy, polite and made me feel safe with the way he responded. The beds are a cool style, very comfortable, ac works great and the LOCK ON THE DOORS ARE SAWEEEET! First timer with this and glad I picked this place on Ludlow.
Negative is the parking, finding a spot is a pain but it's the city life.

The apartment is located on a very seedy, run-down block. You will feel a sense of urgency to get into the apartment just for your SAFETY.
Oui on Ludlow / TabbyTown Rentals is a Filthy, Dirty place to stay with a Dishonest host!!! I only booked a room at Oui on Ludlow because of the low price. Here is my WARNING: They can change so little because they know they will make up for it by RIPPING PEOPLE OFF. The $104 damage deposit fee (for a room; the fee is $208 for the apartment) should be a BIG RED FLAG because Oui on Ludlow will find an EXCUSE to keep all of your deposit money. The second you step inside you will realize that you are in a filthy, dirty place because you tried to save money. When I open the door to my room (Room 1B) I immediately noticed that the carpet was very DIRTY. It looked like no one has vacuumed the carpet in the room. Ever. There were ANTS crawling on the walls, the bed mattress, and around the kitchen sink. There appeared to be yellow URINE stains on the bedding, URINE stains on the bathroom wall, and black burn marks on the bathroom towels. I received this text abt. 6 hrs. after checking out: "“The cleaners did reported a clogged toilet on the room where you checked out (see image below). We will have to charge a cost of $100 in total, that's for the unclogging service, as the standard cleaning fee doesn’t cover them. We will use your deposit for this. Therefore, there will be NO damage deposit refund.” I told Oui on Ludlow / TabbyTown Rentals that since they were charging me $166 for services charged by a plumber, I would like to speak to the plumber. This was TabbyTown Rentals’ response: “This transaction is between us and the Express Drains only. I'm afraid they won't entertain you as there will be confidential information that is not allowed to be disclosed.”

as a way to improve comfort I’d recommend to add a bedside table/closet/shelf in the room.

Very good communication. Responded within minutes and were polite.
Nothing in room but a bed. Room hadn't been vacuumed. I could see previous spills on the walls that hadn't been wiped down and there was a dead fly smashed onto a wall hanging. No heat in room or bathroom.
The kicker is the $100 security deposit.

Great value, simple clean room and bathroom. The owner was very communicative.
The neighborhood is not the best, and the place is very simple. The. bed is OK and the bathroom comes without amenities

Although a bit too small, the shower was perfectly functional and had good pressure and hot water.
Getting in was super easy as you just need to enter a code, so it was quite a relief not worrying about losing the key.
The internet speed was also good.
There are nearby bus stations with a few options of busses going downtown and connecting you to different areas. If you love walking like me, I'd recommend walking during the day and taking transportation at night as it can be a little too deserted and you may encounter more drunkards and homeless people after 9pm.
The cleanliness of the room left much to be desired. The room was covered in a gray carpet that seemed like it had never been cleaned. It had dust, dirt, and countless spots. The window and the blinders had a thick layer of dust as well. And the AC was placed in a very weird way that could let cold air into the room. The latter was too cold, especially for my friend who had already been sick. One night, the AC was at 62°, which was too cold for the end of November. So, I reached out to the property manager asking if it could be fixed at 75° at least, I was told this would be done the following morning as there had been no one at the property at the time. However, the following day, we were surprised to see that the issue hadn't been resolved. (FYI, the unit controller was in a locked box, so we couldn't change the temperature on our own.) We were leaving anyway, so we thought it was pointless to talk to the managers again just to get the same answers.
Moreover, the room had only a bed, no desk and no chair for those who need to work remotely. It was too small, and I couldn't bear staying there for more than just sleeping. It lacked space and coziness.

It was in a great neighborhood. It was close to many dinning options and the places we needed to travel to.
It was cold and we couldn’t control the temperature of the room.
