Firstly, this isnt the apartment I was given. I was given the uglier, larger apartment in the back without any prior notice. But if its anything like mine, I wouldnt stay again mainly due to the host and maid. The host won't actually ever talk to you regardless of your emergency or how many times you call. She responded only through late texts. The maid spent 40 mins cleaning the apartment. She was late meeting us and we left for 40 mins to get groceries (luckily coffee, salt and water because they left us nothing) and was done when we got back.
There are 2 elevators in the building that start on the 2nd floor. 31 marble steps to walk up first. The elevator sticks and sometimes you have to walk down 4 flights of stairs. There is scaffolding on the building and construction starting which will ruin any forwardfacing view. The view is of a whole block building scaffolding across the street which gets pretty dusty.
The building code on the website and guest book is incorrect leaving you standing out in the rain til you reach someone.
There were cleanliness issues with my rental and a broken water heater. Dead plants and a broken torn up window shade greeted us. A pigeon nested in a poo filled planter box outside the bathroom. There were minimal instructions that I had to look for. 1 page of tiny instructions with no welcome or greeting. No maps, guidebooks, no books of any kind (I left a dictionary). Junk filled desk and closets. Minimal and old glassware (4 glasses) and silverware. A few beat up wire hangers (seriously?)
The neighborhood is great. Quiet on the rental street at night and close to one of the best culinary streets in the city. The air conditioning and washing machine worked. My whole vacation was tainted after this experience.
