Incredible location with world class views unfortunately let down by uncomfortable furniture and linen. In the end we decided to leave a day early.
Pros
- Brilliant location, can't be beat
- A view that belongs in a magazine, it's incredible
- Superb communication from the host
- The washer worker perfectly, and there's a small balcony off the kitchen where you can hang your clothes to dry
Cons
- The couch and lounge chair are peeling at the arms, this is not an apartment that's comfortable to lounge around in all day reading a book
- The pillows are cheap and uncomfortable, when I raised this with the host they directed me to try the spare pillows in the closet. These pillows were the same ikea brand and no more firm/soft than those already on the bed
- Generally the linens were of low quality
The issues with this accommodation would be understandable in a lower priced property, but when spending over $1k USD for a five night trip I think it's reasonable to expect a certain level of comfort. The noted issues are an easy fix, and if the host corrects them this would be easily a five star review.
