I hate giving a bad review, I would describe myself as a conflict-avoiding millennial, but for the amount I paid for the space, I expected a higher quality experience.
Upon checking in, I arrived at the property to discover it had not been cleaned. I arrived almost two hours after the check in time. The cleaning was taken care of within an hour, but it left me feeling like a high quality cleaning may not have occurred. The delay made me late for my evening engagements.
Another issue was the fact there were ants all over the apartment for the duration of my stay. While they didn’t seem to want to get into any food, it was clearly a problem that needed to be dealt with as they were all over the kitchen and bathroom.
My next critiques won’t be a problem if you aren’t a light sleeper like me, but there is little sound insulation in the apartment and it seems the inhabitants of the other apartments are night owls, so their loud footsteps could be heard until well after midnight. The high ceilings ensure the noise pollution echoes through the space.
The mattress also didn’t help with a restorative night’s rest as it felt like laying on a slab of concrete.
The stay wasn’t all bad: the location was great, and I enjoyed the nespresso. The apartment is pretty cute, and after I was able to figure out the symbols on the washer, I was able to do a much needed load of laundry.
None of these issues are necessarily deal breakers, but you should know what you’re getting when you book this stay. The management company was communicative, but was unable to connect me with the owner to find a resolution to my inconveniences.
