The building and apartment are nice but several things diminished the classy experience we had hoped for during our two-week stay. There is no fixed lighting in the bedrooms and one room was missing a lamp. We were provided the lamp after two requests. The hairdryer was also missing causing a disruption to the shower schedule for the day but a replacement was delivered that evening.
The washer was not working. This was not discovered until all towels had been thrown into the washer with detergent. I reached out again to the host and was provided two towels; one per guest for the remaining 10 days. At this time I came across previous reviews which had been published between the period that I had booked the stay and the actual date of the stay indicating the washer had not been functional for the previous two stays. Not having access to laundry was disappointing as I had booked this suite and then packed based on the assurance of having access to laundry. Taking laundry to be done at an alternate location was disruptive and inconvenient.
There is one fob available during the stay but you can access the building using the buzz system. Unfortunately the buzz system stopped working during our stay leaving one of us stranded in the lobby and sheepishly asking a resident to allow us to follow them in. With this in mind we made sure not to make plans that would cause us to need to arrive at the suite without the other. The host knows this is a problem with the building but does not provide a warning or a second fob.
Personal items including a half-used tub of vaseline in a night table and a grill from a Honda did not give the feeling that the unit was thoroughly cleaned. There were spill stains on the night table and floor in one of the bedrooms and the air intake vent was dusty but cleanliness can be subjective. The suite is full of full-length windows which offer a lot of natural light and view of the city. They were dirty but there were swipe marks up to a person's arm reach so someone has made an attempt to clean them. The building shares a back alley with a hotel and other businesses so we woke up to delivery/garbage trucks almost every day at 6 am. A few days into our stay we realized the patio door wasn't latched so it became a bit quieter but this further diminished our experience and confidence that the unit was thoroughly cleaned and inspected between guest stays.
Overall the unit is adequate, the two full bathrooms were great for getting ready at the same time and the beds are comfortable. Access to bars, restaurants and other attractions was convenient and the design is modern but the host does not make you feel like a guest. I recommend this for short stays with the sole purpose of easy access to downtown but I would not suggest it for longer. If you are a light sleeper bring an eye mask and ear plugs.
