First, I want to start by saying Mariam was incredibly responsive both before and during our stay. She was also kind enough to let us enter the apartment earlier because our flight landed early in the morning and we would have been stuck with our bags otherwise. With two little babies, it helped us a lot.
Overall, the apartment is a terrific location, and was a pleasant stay.
There are a few things that Mariame and guests should be aware of in the future. These are not deal breakers and can be quickly addressed:
1) There were many fruit flies in the apartment. They are either coming from the sink or the plant in the corner next to the couch, we weren’t sure.
2) The white couch is very stained. There is a blanket on top but clearly it has had many people spill on it
3) The pillows on the beds are not very comfortable and it made sleeping difficult
4) Towels: with us being here for a week, having only one towel each and no towel warmer working (Mariame did send someone immediately to address this but it had not yet been resolved) and with no drier for us to wash our own and dry them in time each day, it would have been great to have access to more towels or at least have someone come in and switch some out for us every few days.
5) Drainage in the bathrooms, again because of limited access to clean towels, it made the fact that the showers don’t drain well even more difficult to deal with
6) Overall Cleanliness could be better, specifically the floor. Honesty, if we didn’t have babies crawling on the floor we may not have noticed as much but because they were, we saw.
Again, overall we were appreciative of our stay, and if you were to address these issues, you would have an absolute gem of a place to stay and rent out to many customers for years to come!
