The apartment was clean and spacious with comfortable sheets and beds. The kitchen was well-appointed. However, I am giving this apartment a low rating for the following reasons:
- We arrived to find the exterior under construction and the balcony unusable. We had chosen this property over others specifically for use of the balcony. The owner was aware of the ongoing construction (per an apology note) but gave us no advance notice of the situation. In addition, we awoke in the mornings to the sounds of construction and workers immediately outside our windows so we essentially needed to keep the blinds closed at all times.
- No hot water. The owner left a note outside the shower stating that the hot water in the shower was not working but should be working in the bath tub. There was no hot water anywhere in the apartment. We immediately contacted the owner, but he made zero efforts to fix the situation. Absolute silence. We took cold showers every morning in an expensive apartment.
I do not recommend booking this apartment. Even if all amenities are available as advertised, should anything go wrong, the owner/concierge has demonstrated lack of willingness or urgency to fix issues.
