Cons
-No central air conditioning. The posting said AC was included, however, it was one mobile unit that had to be vented in the living room, which meant the window had to be open allowing heat and noise to enter. The bedrooms were very warm which kept us from sleeping some nights. The whole reason we booked this place was for the AC so that was very disappointing.
-The last 4 days (of 10 days) the WiFi was consistenly down. We had to unplug the router several times
-the kitchen counter and bathrooms were clean, however the floors and some surfaces were very dusty
-there is a tub but not really a shower, just a hose. This may be a cultural thing, however, it just led to water all over the bathroom floor
-The noise of the neighborhood was loud in the apartment, mostly because I dont think the windows seal out the sound. This is possible in a lot of cities though.
-There was zero counter space in the bathroom which was hard for 4 women
-On the posting it said "breakfast provided", however, this wasnt offered or apparent. Granted we also didnt ask.
