The apartment was a good size and conveniently located, with the metro just a couple blocks away and restaurants/shopping literally just out the door. The owner/hostess was also very responsive and helpful before we arrived. Unfortunately she did not warn us about the ongoing construction in the complex, which was a major disappointing and upsetting factor. We had two major issues with the apartment:
1- the water closet smelled of urine and the bathroom smelled moldy.
2- the issue though significant was hopefully a temporary problem in that there was major construction going on while we were there, so there was no view as all the windows were blocked by scaffolding. It also rendered the apartment dark despite the large windows. The balconies were not accessible, as promised in the listing. Worse was the amount of noise created by drilling/jackhammering at our windows and neighboring units. It was miserable to be awakened by construction noise on your vacation and have workers stare at you at the windows while eating breakfast, lunch. Our toddler couldn’t nap in the apartment due to noise. We really wished we were at least warned as it was a planned construction project and it started weeks before we arrived!
