Such an interesting stay for us (4 days)
We loved the look of the apartment, the views, the location and the decor was amazing. Absolutely perfect for what we wanted. Super spacious too so you don’t feel cramped and everything was super clean. It feels like staying in a new Airbnb.
On the downside there were a few issues we had with practicality and value and I will just list them below in hopes that they will be fixed before the next guest comes.
You only get one key for the stay, so it means you have to coordinate arrival times and leaving times if you’re staying with a friend and want to do something different. The door on entry wasn’t a smooth open (we thought we had the wrong key because it doesn’t turn full way into the lock - we ended up pushing our weight against the door and it finally opened). The fridge was room temperature and even though I tried to change the dial on the back of the fridge, nothing changed. The ice didn’t freeze and our milk went bad. The linens as far as bedding and doonas went were great, but the towels are super thin and you only get one each. Lastly, all the water was turned off in the building on Saturday night so my friend couldn’t shower when we got home from the opera.
On the upside, the host was super accommodating and quick to respond which made the situation better.
I personally feel, that when you pay $1300 for 4 days, these things are so easy to avoid with more attention to detail.
