I'll start with the positives first:
* The wifi is stable and strong enough to support HD video calls.
* Location is decent - not too far from train station, although uncomfortable with heavy bags. However it's on the opposite side of the more "happening" part of town.
* Apartment is clean and pictures are accurate. Shampoo is provided.
* Backyard is quite private - no one can look through the windows.
* The check-in process uses a lockbox and is straightforward.
And the negatives:
* The pillows are extremely fat and don't compress. I'm not sure who sleeps on these, but I couldn't use them at all. The spare pillows in the closet were identical.
* There is no air conditioning (disclosed) but also no fan. On hot summer days, you're forced to open the door at night, which lets in bugs. I was bitten by several mosquito over the stay.
* The buttons on the glass stove are temperamental/finnicky to the point of being unusable. I wasn't able to turn the stove on at all. The electric kettle had metal flakes coming off the coil inside, rendering it useless as well.
* I'm not sure what the high cleaning fee was for, since the check out instructions ask the guest to wash the dishes and take out the trash. Changing sheets, cleaning the bathroom and sweeping floors should not cost $35 on top of the stay.
Overall, I would not recommend the place at the current price. Some items are fixable, but the lack of fan is a deal breaker in the summer. The cleaning fee should also be reconsidered.
