The apartment is located very close to a subway station. It was convenient to go anywhere. But unfortunately the good points stop there. There are severe issues at the apartment right now. I do not recommend renting. Problems we experienced in August 2021 are: 1. The courtyard has construction every week day starting at 8am when we stayed there. Pipes everywhere, including one somewhat blocking the inner entrance. Definitely not safe for small children.
2. When we entered the unit on our first day(around 10pm due to long travel), we could only get the hallway lights to work. Most of the lights or electronic outlets did not work. We called the host but could only leave a message (the host called and left a message the second morning). Luckily we found the electronic box in one of the bedrooms and were able to reset the outlets. It was not a good checkin experience.
3. The apartment seemed to have suffered water damage recently: one piece of the wooden floor board was buckled in the living room (not safe), most doors do not close, bathrooms do not have shower doors, bathroom door slanted, front door very difficult to close, the floor was not clean (hair on the kitchen floor), the entire unit was damp.
4. No ventilation anywhere, moisture lingers in the apartment, especially bathrooms. If we open the windows in one of the bedrooms, strong smell of dog pee came in from the corner of the court yard.
5. The bathrooms are tiny. Lack of privacy due to all the door problems. My back and neck hurt due to lack of bed support. Unfortunately not luxury, not close to enough space for 10 people.
6. Only 1 coffee pod, 1 dish washing tab, 1 laundry tab. not enough shampoo or body wash for 4 people. Ran out of toilet paper on day 3.
