The apartment is new, modern, and clean. It was centrally located and most of the places were approx 1-2 miles away. Lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The hosts were easy to contact and quick to respond which I greatly appreciated.
However…the apartment is located right next to a karaoke bar. We came in on a Thursday night and the street was packed with people. It was hard to sleep that night as you can hear the music, the people, and the cars right outside of the bedroom window. This place is NOT suited for a family with young kids or elderly parents. I was shocked that there were 30+ steps to get up to the apartment, most of the steps were very steep and not standard. My parents (in their 70s) had a very difficult time negotiating the stairs. This was not mentioned in the listing. Also this place is advertised for 7 people, it really should just be for 6 people. My son slept on the couch (it wasn’t a pullout). There were no drawers or tables in the bedrooms. Our stuff were all over the floor. In the closet, there were hangers but nothing to hang them on.
The apartment would probably be good for groups of younger individuals looking to party and have a good time. But not for a family like mine.
