Pros:
-Perfect location for a walkable stay.
-Hosts are friendly and available, but unobtrusive.
-Simple check-in.
-Surprisingly quiet for being situated on a lively street.
-Cozy bed provided great sleep.
-Ample closet area for those with a large wardrobe.
-Shower had good water pressure and temperature.
Recommendations:
-Provide clean towels. One of the hand towels had the clear black prints of oily hands that were neither charming nor whimsical.
-Replace the moldy shower curtain.
-The shower also needs a soap dish.
-Give the toilet a heavy duty cleaning to remove the dark stains or replace it.
-Replace the wooden toilet seat with a less porous material.
-Also either fully clean the two bar fridges or replace them entirely.
-Purchase matching plates, glassware and cutlery and ensure that all appliances shown in the professional photos are present and well-maintained.
Overall impression:
The photos are pretty accurate overall but the suite does fall short once you're actually on site. I feel like this would have been better listed as a private room since the place was fine up until I walked past the dining room table. I would never consider letting my own houseguests use a kitchen and bathroom under the present conditions, let alone offer them to paying guests.
Thankfully, the area offers a plethora of restaurants, cafés, and bars ranging from affordable to luxuriously expensive, rendering the kitchen unnecessary. However, unless the recommended changes are made to the bathroom, make sure to bring shower gel, flip flops and your own towels.
