The value is exclusively in the location. The space is quite small and there is no natural light, as the window looks out into a small courtyard surrounded by tall buildings. Towels and linens smelled of smoke - so much so that the first thing we did was wash pillowcases and blanket, and the dryer setting on the combo machine is not effective, so air-drying time is required. Fortunately the railings accommodate laying out items to air dry.
The pull-out couch is listed under "sleeping arrangements" in the listing, but there were no sheets for it, and the host did not reply to my question regarding sheets. However, in general, host responded timely. Host contacted me well in advance of trip to communicate check-in procedure. Check-in is not streamlined and is inconvenient for guests. Host has expectation that guests contact others via text or WhatsApp to retrieve keys, but in our case was willing to pass our messages sent via the app along to those who met us with the keys.
Only 2 coffee pods were provided for 2 guests for a stay of 4 days. Cleanser in the shower was empty on arrival. Wi-fi connection was unreliable. No street noise, but noisy neighbors late into the night. Looking over the reviews, it appears that the host has a tendency to respond with retaliatory messaging to negative reviews.
