A big airy apartment suitable for 4. The owner has tried to be modern in the decor. The 2 big beds are comfortable. The water is hot. The airconditioning works well. The west side balcony is big and the east side balcony is dirty. Both balconies have awnings. The living area roomy.
Some of the furniture pieces are vintage and need repair. There was not enough plates, glasses or cereal /soup bowls. We contacted the Air BNB property agent to inform them of the missing, broken and faulty items in the apartment upon our arrival. I did not want my reputation as a guest spoiled. The agent offered to send a handyman. One never came. I hope the next guest can use all the furniture, have plenty of dishes and watch a dvd movie.
It is close to the metro. Or one can walk to Athenia Street in 20 minutes. The area is cultural diverse. There is a Bread Factory nearby and a wide variety of other ethnic foods and shops.
A good place to lay your head, but lacking the little comforts like coffee, sugar, usable pots and pans, cleaning products, and extra sheets.
I would rather a washing machine in place of the dish washer. I could then overlook all the rest.
Lastly, why can't there be two sets of keys or a buzzer for entry? It became tedious to let the other guest in at all hours.
