Rustic 2-Bedroom walking distance to Downtown

The property is ok, but is located next to a crematorium that is not compliant with the regs. Couldn’t figure out the stench in the apartment when we checked in. Shortly after midnight until 4:30 am it became unbearable. We were forced to breathe through dampened washcloths. Not the owners fault but disclosure would have kept me from booking it. We were sickened for several days. Place should be called Humanmist rather than Rivermist House.

This historic converted home was perfect for our stay. It was exactly as described. It’s located near downtown and super convenient to everything. We”ll be back!

It was fine

My stay was very nice. The room was not as updated as the pictures show. You can see updates in the room. The room is very nice, very spacious. It suited its purpose for what I needed it for and I would stay again.

The property had some updates which was nice. On arrival we opened the refrigerator and a cockroach crawled across the top of the door seal. We started seeing more in the kitchen. We asked the owner to come clean and they did, but failed to pull out the refrigerator and stove and clean behind them. We also asked that they come and spray as we were out most days. They never did. We have pictures of the food waste along the side of the stove. Claimed he had to have a contractor move the electric stove that I could pull out with one hand. We spent our own money to buy bug killer and cockroach traps. Once my wife saw one in the bathroom on the vanity top next to our towel, we had to leave early. We had to buy bags and sealed containers to pack all of our things as we did not want to bring home any bugs. We spent about $100 on these items and the owner would not reimburse us. We spent all day Saturday cleaning everything, inspecting, packing and washing all of our clothes. We ended up staying at a casino for the rest of our trip. They did refund our 5 days we did not stay there.

Our experience started upon arrival to the address. The “rustic” building is located in a rather rundown section of Reno. Even our Uber drivers were surprised we were staying there. First we were greeted by a man yelling at us from across the street wanting to pay us to take him to cash a check. We had not received check in information and had to contact the manager for instructions. The manager directed us to apartment #2 and after several attempts to enter the code, he realized he had us at the wrong apartment. The inside of the apartment was relatively clean but furniture, carpets and blinds were quite worn, stained or broken. I took pictures for fear of not getting my deposit back. The homeless/mentally ill were quite prevalent in the neighborhood. One afternoon we were greeted by a man sitting on the steps of the building yelling and screaming he wanted to kill someone. We came home later to find mail scattered around the lawn and a metal decoration torn to pieces. This was all reported to the manager via email with no response. Also, due to unseasonably cold weather we attempted to turn on the heaters without results. A call to the manager and two calls to the emergency number went without a response. On our last evening, we finally did figure out how to get heat in the bedroom. I have stayed in several VRBOs and have never had a bad experience until now. I could not in all good conscience recommend to apartment to anyone.

This was a great space close to downtown. We are so happy with our stay. We felt safe and it was not noisy which is a huge factor for us to enjoy ourselves. The furniture is cozy, we had hot showers, and great coffee. The host is welcoming and messages to make sure we had what we needed and is available through the app to answer questions. We would recommend this place for sure!

Comfy place. Easy walk to downtown and art museum, very close to river walk, good restaurants, and coffee shops. Great communication with host. Bed/mattress could use an upgrade. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Reno.

Nicholas was very responsive to all my questions. His responses were very prompt, kind and helpful. The apartment is clean and comfortable.

It was nice. The place was a little older, but overall good.
