This is a great apartment at this price point. There are some positives and negatives but overall it’s excellent value.
Pros: excellent location, thoughtfully stocked including a kitchen with enough essentials to actually cook a meal, quite a big living space for the area, nicely laid out and decorated, very clear and prompt communication with the host.
Cons: definitely in need of a little love, the space probably needs a coat of paint and a good clean, the apartment entry is via an alley which was difficult for arranging cabs/food delivery, not to mention a bit dark and dingy to be walking through an alley constantly.
Overall I think the space is great and I’d recommend, but I wish I had been a bit more prepared for the negatives.
