This is a good apartment in a very cool neighborhood. The building is adorable. The location is central to all sorts of cool stuff. And the value for the money was solid.
However, there were a few disappointing things.
1) the pictures are slightly misleading as the apartment is on the ground floor and the windows all open into the courtyard where other residents pass all the time. So you really want to keep the blinds closed all the time or you have zero privacy and feel like you're in a fishbowl. There are no other windows. Also, the blinds in the main room are kind of dirty and bent and just feel a little run down.
2) the heater in the bedroom with the shower stopped working during our stay.
3) They ran out of toilet paper. Not the end of the world, but would have been nice to have enough for our stay.
4) the couch in the main room is not in great shape. It sort of looks like a doctor seuss couch, and the cushions are always sliding off.
5) There were two of us so they left us with two sets of towels. But for a week we could have used more. We asked for more and they basically ignored our request. There were also no dish towels.
6. The hot water only lasted for one shower.
None of these things are the end of the world. And the apartment is a great value especially given the location. But many of these things can be fixed. Unfortunately the cavelike feeling is the one thing i'm not sure can be fixed given the lack of windows with some degree of privacy.
