**Please note there is construction ongoing directly in front of this building. It can be fairly noisy early mornings. Since we were site seeing most of the day, it wasn't bothersome until some mornings. Closed windows did a good job of cutting down the noise below. The construction is not the host's fault, but I think a heads up is nice. **
Overall, a decent place to stay. We were lucky to have cooler weather so having no air conditioning wasn't an issue for us but I can imagine the apartment can get very hot in the summer. It advertises having a TV but it doesn't do anything but plug in. A very large space and a great location and view. With a few improvements, it could be amazing. When we arrived, there was a dirty pan with cooked eggs on it in the dishwasher. There wasn't dishwasher detergent or laundry soap despite the listing saying it provided soaps. It did have hand soap and dish soap for hand washing dishes. Little improvements such as having paper towels, soaps, instructions for where garbage goes, getting the right length of shower curtain, etc., would make this a 5 star place. The response time was very fast and owner was good at getting a leaking toilet fixed the same day. The balcony over looking the museum is a nice touch and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony mornings and evenings. Stove is slow to get hot but works fine once it gets going. There is a washing machine and a drying rack. The listing says dryer but please note the dryer is the rack which works just fine if you have the time for it to dry which we did. I feel like 4 stars is a little too much but 3 stars is too low! I give it 3.9 with potential to be a 5 with a few small tweaks.
Pros:
Location
Size of apartment
Close to public transit
Close to grocery stores
Large Kitchen
Large kitchen table
2 bathrooms (2 toilets, 1 shower)
Quick responses and quick to repair leaking toilet
Great view and balcony
Most beds comfortable
Cons:
No dishwasher detergent, no laundry detergent despite listing that says soaps provided.
TV that was useless-would have been nice for the rainy day we had (no channels or Netflix or anything to connect to, had to get extension cords to plug in TV and unplug other things)
Toilet was leaking when we arrived (but was quickly repaired, thanks!)
Ceiling in main bathroom looked as though it may be dirty/moldy
Shower curtain much too long so it's in the way during showers
