Pros: Unreal location, a quick walk from exciting restaurants and sights. Comfy, firm beds. Listing was accurate. Host allowed us to leave our bags on the property a few hours after checkout. Host was quick to respond to requests. Although the location was in the city, there was very little noise audible from the room. Easy check-in process. Nice soaps provided. Guidebook was a nice touch.
Cons: Cleanliness was left to be desired. Fruit fly in the room which was a nuisance at night. Small bugs in the washroom and one found crawling on the duvet while we were relaxing in bed. Large dead bug on a shelf in the wardrobe. Large yellow stains on one of our bath towels. No glasses/cups - even disposable ones would have been welcome. Although you can't hear street noises from the room, you can hear neighbouring doors closing VERY loudly, as if it was your own door being opened and closed. This was likely not other guests, but rather the maintenace or administrative staff on site. This occurred every morning. Host is responsive, yes, but the majority of the mesages from Dave being automated and pre-written diminished the personal touch. For example, we sent a message the day before check-in stating that we would arrive at 11:30pm the next day to keep the host in the loop, and we got an automated message well before 11:30pm the next day asking us how the check-in process went, which made it clear that the attentiveness was pre-programmed. With 23 listings, this is not surprising, but it felt a bit disingenuous.
Otherwise, it is good value for your money. The location being prime offsets the cons.
