This is a fantastic location no doubt (worth the stairs) but we’ve stayed in air bnbs all around the globe and there are some things about this place we found to be too unusual:
-There is a $40 fee if you check in after 8pm. Cedric has this in his house manual because he has to pay someone to check you in, but it’s not convenient for guests at all. (Story below if you’re interested lol)
-we had to keep the bathroom door closed & the vent on because there was a HORRIBLE smell coming from the pipes. No other reviews have mentioned this, so I’m not sure if something was broken while we were there.
-A “common sense” rule to make sure none of your makeup gets on the white towels when you’re drying your face🙄
-extra charge because dishes are not included in the cleaning fee, also take out your trash too. We didn’t spill anything but the floors are sensitive to even water.
We left the place spotless but all this made the time there feel less comfortable.

Story: We flew in, had a layover and MANY delays. It was a long stressful trip. I wasn’t able to let Cedric know in advance we’d be late because I didn’t have wifi & didn’t know the time until we landed (my phone didn’t update the time zone). He had been waiting at the apartment and was very frustrated by our delay. He kept asking me why I didn’t contact him. When I tried to explain he was almost accusatory asking why I didn’t turn on my 4G etc (even though we were on the plane). It wasn’t the best intro, but he was able to get someone to give us the keys for $40. I’ve seen him write rude responses to any complaints, so felt the need to explain in our defense!
