Overall the apartment is lovely and it was in a perfect location for us. Philip was very communicative and helpful throughout the booking process, answered all of my questions quickly, check in process was easy.
The one problem here is the bathroom situation. There is just absolutely no privacy in the bathroom. There’s a large air gap above the bathroom door (you can see it in the picture with the small table in front of the window to the fire escape). The door does not latch closed and there is also a large vertical gap between the door and the doorframe. So in order to walk up and see if the bathroom is occupied, you end up looking straight into the bathroom exactly where the toilet is. (Our solution was to throw a bedsheet over the door to at least partly block visibility. Not ideal.)
We enjoyed our stay and it’s a great value. But be aware of this issue before you book, especially if you’re planning on staying with a group that you’re not extremely comfortable with…
