For the most part, I was pleased with my experience at this property. It looks exactly like the pictures, so there is no surprise there. The apartment was very clean and had all of the basics that one would expect.
I gave the apartment 4 stars for the following reasons:
1. The front door to the building was left open frequently. Although I enjoyed the neighborhood, their are plenty of unsavory characters wandering the streets, and the fact that 7 out of 10 times, I found the front door wide open or unlocked was unsettling.
2. I was there for 4 nights. The rooftop terrace on the first night had furniture with cushions. However, the subsequent 3 nights, the cushions were removed for some reason and not replaced severely limiting one’s ability to enjoy one of the main features of the building.
3. Maintenance of the building was lacking. Over the course of 4 days, the hallways got dirtier and dirtier. It did not appear that there was any regular staff responsible for cleaning.
4. There is a television, but no cable. So, if you wish to watch any television, you can log into your own Netflix account, but that is basically it. This was not a major issue, but access to basic cable is not a lot to expect in this day and age.
5. I was told by the host at the last minute one evening prior to going out to dinner that I would need to move my car from the onsite parking garage due to a maintenance issue. Although the maintenance had been scheduled prior to my arrival, I was given minimal notice, and it caused me a good deal of frustration, especially when I requested assistance from the owner and was provided with misinformation. It demonstrated a lack of respect for me and my time as a guest.
6. When out to dinner one evening at a nearby restaurant, I met a couple of locals who asked me where I was staying. When I told them, they were like, “Oh....you’re staying at that AirBnB Hotel.” I only mention this because it was quite obvious that it appeared that most of the units were being rented out as there was a constant flow of people with suitcases coming in and out of the building. This may or may not be an issue for some people, but I thought that it was worth mentioning.
7. If you decide to walk to the Old City, it is a serious uphill walk. Again, this may not be an issue for some people, but I thought that it was worth mentioning if you are not familiar with the landscape iof the city.
Net-net, I had a pleasant stay. My feedback is meant solely to provide some additional insight that might not be apparent from a basic information provided in the posting.
