This listing conveys an impression that was very different from my experience. This is the first 2-Star review that I have ever written. I hope that It is my last one. If you like super loud, very hot, places and don’t need working WiFi pick this place.
It is a 1st floor room that is on a very busy (noisy) street right across from a very loud and late bar with people partying on the street until quite late. The room was very hot and so the sliding door needed to be kept open which let more noise in. Note: I was not able to lock the sliding door. It may be possible but I was not able to do it.
I was not able to use the WiFi while I was there. When I asked Marnie about it she seemed to imply that it was a problem with my gear (iPhone 8 & iPad 9) throughout my travels this is the only time that I have not been able to connect to the internet. Reading through her reviews I note that others also have had trouble using the WiFi.
Checking in. There is no smart key. I was messaged the day before I was to arrive and told that she would need to be there and that 2:30pm was not convenient for her. She asked me to wait in a cafe. When I asked if it would be possible to drop my bags she suggested that her 9yo son could let me in. I am a father of two boys and he idea of letting a 9yo boy let a complete stranger into an apartment alone isn’t something that I would ever be comfortable with but that is what was suggested.
There is no working refrigerator- I am type 1 diabetic and asked if I could store some things (insulin) in the refrigerator but there isn’t a working one. In retrospect I should have asked before booking. I have never stayed in a place that didn’t have a working refrigerator so I didn’t think to ask and to be fair the listing does say that there is no allowance for kitchen use. Just a heads up- the refrigerator is broken and doesn’t work.
The location is convenient and in an area of the city that I like.
