Overall we had a good stay here. The location was great, super easy to walk places and easy access to public transportation. There were a few inaccuracies with the listing (it said two rooms with queens and one room with twins, we had one room with a Queen and two rooms with twins) but overall it matched what was listed. The apartment worked out well for what we needed it for. The check in and check out process was really easy, especially when we had both a very late check in and very early check out.
Things to be aware of:
- The apartment gets really hot and the only way to cool it down is to open the windows. None of the windows have screens, so our family was eaten alive by mosquitoes and other bugs (I easily have over 40 bites after six nights). In looking at other buildings, it doesn’t appear screens are common, so just something to be mindful of if you are staying during the summer.
- The floors and doors are very squeaky. Not a huge deal, but can be annoying if you are staying here with young kids and trying to sneak around after they have gone to sleep.
- The shower is small. If you are taller than 5’10”, you will not be able to stand up straight to wash your hair as the cord for the shower head won’t reach long enough.
- It’s hard to tell from the photos, but the rooms have blackout/darkening curtains. They don’t 100% cover the windows, especially in the largest bedroom, so if you are traveling with young kids who sleep in really dark conditions, you may have to supplement, but they do a good job in the smaller bedrooms.
