Pros:
- The location of this apartment is amazing! Ideal spot in the city, within walking distance to everything you could possibly need.
- Jean made the check in and check out process very easy for us as well.
- The internet and TV worked, and our first night was rainy, so it was nice to relax and watch some netflix. And obviously, the style of this place is super unique. One-of-a-kind artwork and vibe in there.
- Coffee and tea provided.
Cons:
- The main issue for us was the sleeping arrangements. The bed is very wobbly, and extremely, extremely squeaky. We were there for 2 nights and I maybe got 2 to 3 hours of sleep in total. Every time one of us moved even an inch, we both woke up. I wish I was exaggerating, but I'm not. I've never encountered such a loud and squeaky bed. A new frame, or even putting the mattress on the floor would help. The couch was too small to sleep on, so we couldn't figure out a solution.
- We weren't aware from the listing that the toilet and shower are actually in the bedroom. It was uncomfortable for us, because while we've been together for years and feel okay going number 1 a few feet from the other person with no door for privacy, we had to send the other person downstairs when one of us wanted to go number 2.
- The windows face directly into the owner's apartment and there's no AC (we did know the AC situation), which makes it a little tough to manage heat vs. privacy.
- One of the sliding shower doors had been broken by a previous airbnb visitor, which I understand takes some time to fix. It made for a cold and messy shower situation, but that's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. However, what was a bigger deal was that while taking a shower, I stepped on broken glass, and upon some inspection, I found a few pieces of broken glass in the shower that hadn't been cleaned up. Just paying a bit more attention to cleaning while preparing for our stay could have helped us avoid injury.
