This place was interesting. In a lot of ways it was exactly what and Airbnb is meant to be: quirky, unique, amazing location in a place without hotels. I overall recommend the apartment but it had some drawbacks that I think ppl should know about before booking.
Pros: fantastic location near the subway with an amazing local food scene. Some of the best restaurants and pubs were within a few min walk. Super cool apartment, really beautifully renovated, very funky artsy place. Great views on a nice deck, great kitchen.
Cons: no AC. Valerie was kind enough to put it into 2 of the bedrooms for us, as it was a crazy heatwave, but the rest of the apartment was almost uninhabitable. Be aware of this fact if you’re booking in the summer. 4 th floor no elevator, which was fine for us, but it would be difficult for anyone about older or with mobility issues. Clutter. The apartment, especially drawers and closets, was full of stuff, leaving little room to hang/put away clothes. Every nook and cranny had something in it. Also, this is a 3 bedroom apartment, not 4. The “4th bedroom” is a futon set up in the laundry room. This would be fine to sleep in, but if I was coming thinking I had a bedroom and had to sleep in a laundry room I’d be upset. The apartment is huge and has lots of space, but just be aware when planning sleeping arrangements.
Again, overall I’d recommend, it was unique, and fun, but just know what you’re getting in to.
