This AirBNB is in a great location, with 2 different subway lines a short walk away, and lots of restaurants and bars close by.
The apartment is very spacious. Two things that didn’t occur to me when glancing at the listing is that while there is a stove, there is no oven, and while there is a refrigerator, it doesn’t have a freezer. We bought some ice cream before figuring that one out lol.
There is lots of natural light thanks to the large windows, but there’s no screen to cover them when open. We had bugs flying into the apartment at night due to this. As the listing states, there’s no AC, but the host provided 2 fans for the bedrooms which worked great.
There are technically two toilets in small rooms with doors, but they are connected to a larger room which contains the shower. If you’re modest, you’re not going to want anyone else in there when you’re showering - the shower curtain is small and doesn’t quite cover the shower area. This wasn’t a huge deal for us. The shower head was height adjustable, but broken and stuck on the lowest setting. We had to hold the shower head up while showering.
As others mentioned, the apartment is beside the subway train tracks. This didn’t bother me and I actually found the noise soothing, but if you’re a light sleeper it might bother you.
During our stay, the elevator was broken. The host has arranged for this to be fixed, but I thought I would note this because the apartment is on the 4th floor, but technically 5 floors up since the ground floor is “0”. It was quite tiring going up and down the stairs several times a day. For the inconvenience, we were refunded 20% of our rental fee.
Lastly, the WIFI was quite spotty during our stay so we ended up mostly relying on our phone data plans.
Aside from these issues, the place was very nice and I would recommend staying here.
