I’ll start by saying that the bed was comfortable, the room was spacious and it was very clean. The location is also amazing and that is the clear driver of this price.
Now onto the posting and how it applies to the room. There is no washer and dryer in the unit. When prompted via message to ask where the listed washer and dryer were, there was no response from the host. I was able to wander the building and locate 2 washer/dryer combos in the basement. Another frustrating part of this, since the units clearly do not belong solely to the host there was no laundry detergent. As someone who was looking to do one single load of laundry in the middle of a 3 week trip, this was very frustrating. We ended up buying some and then having to leave it because we could not take it with us. Now, onto the Wifi. While serviceable most of the time, it was continuously inconsistent. This was likely due to fact that the wifi service was provided by the city and not the host themselves. The city Wifi is a great feature out and about, however, not ideal when you’re trying to use the flat as a place to re-gather yourself and do whatever it is you need to do on the internet.
The bathroom and shower. The shower is quite literally a death trap. It is very slippery and high up from the ground. I understand where we are and what we’re trying to accomplish. This wouldn’t really be a problem if the hot water heater didn’t have to be consistently riddled with. Like the Wifi, very inconsistent performance there. These are not necessarily slights against the host themselves, rather just a warning for anyone looking to rent.
Overall, the place was very nice and in a great location. The host poorly communicated directions to the location and was generally unresponsive, therefore, I would not stay here again. We did not feel very welcomed and felt much like a transaction as opposed to a guest.
