For me, this stay was a bit disappointing. A few things to note about this listing:
PROS:
-GREAT location. The metro is around the corner. Several cafes, brassieres, patisseries, bobulougnes, and restaurants. Pharmacy & grocery. All in five minutes walk.
- VERY quiet location.
-GOOD price for what it is.
CONS:
-There is NO AIR CONDITIONING. The listing says there is "Portable AC". There is NOT. There is a small "Swamp cooler" where you put water into it and a small fan moves air over the water. This is NOT air conditioning.
- Because there is no air conditioning, you will need to keep the windows open at all times. Unfortunately, your window is right across the court yard from two other windows. So the neighbors can see right into the apartment and onto you in the bed.
- The unit is SMALL - the pictures make it look bigger then it is. It is VERY TINY.
- The internal hallway is loud, and you will hear everyone walking in it. You will even hear them talking in their own apartments.
- Communication with the host concierge was slow to respond.
Also, for my stay, the unit across the court yard was under renovation. And since there is no AC, you have to sleep with the window open. Which meant that I was woken up by the sound of hammers, tile saws, and the stench of cigarette smoke from 8AM - 6PM including on the weekend.
Overall my stay was a bit of a disappointment. Some of it was not in the hosts control, but, the fact that there was no air conditioning made those aspects worse.
