The location is central and convenient! There is a giant really good tv with Netflix if you have a movie night in! There was a lot of towels and linens which was nice. Hot water was great and my wife and daughter and myself could get Ready without it running out.
Check in is complicated as the keys and parking are in two other locations. It made it very challenging to check in with a kid and luggage. The entrance is in a dark alley beside city garbage dumpsters. Going in at night made us not feel totally safe as a family of females.
The windows were all open when we got there and it was really cold outside so it took a long time to get comfortable with the chill in the house.
The parking is a few blocks from the building (loading and unloading is annoyingly hard because of this if you come with a vehicle) and it is locked from 11pm to 6 am so we had to change some plans to ensure our car got in in time.
The beds are terrible! Like awful. Really cheap and hard mattresses with cheap lumpy blankets. After four nights, our backs felt it. The photos are really misleading and we are really disappointed with how the apartment translated in real life. We use AirBnB very regularly... and this listing was the first time our expectations felt vastly different from the reality.
The third bedroom is so small that you cannot open the door more than 40% of the way because it hits the bed.
The third floor is blocked with a cot and high chair and pack n play so you cannot get up the that level and outdoor space.
The tables were cluttered with fake plants and there is no closet space to hang coats etc so they have to drape on furniture.
The wifi did not work properly so we just stayed connected to data. The toilet on the main floor did not flush so there was a lot of toilet tank reaching.
The host has a lot of instructions in the house manual with videos to watch but the links don’t work and it’s very frustrating. The guest policy is complicated so we avoided having family over as I couldn’t get a clear answer on this.
There is a good washing machine and dryer. And ironing board and iron.
It is very surprising that this is an AirBnb plus.
Overall it was really disappointing value for the cost. You really are just paying to be in that area of the city and there’s lots of better options.
