We loved Edmund's home. It is beautiful and cozy. We had a great time. We found it very much in line with our expectations. The pictures do show it very well. Our kids had a great time in the attic rooms. The metro once is finish will be great and will make moving around a lot easier. The 5th floor is quite a good exercise and it was ok for us, although preparing for an IRONMAN race is not something that I really was looking forward. The bus system is great and easy to move around, however, I wish I hadn't had to use it that much to go to anywhere we needed... actually, we rented bikes and that was much more fun and easier for us. We found your bathroom and kitchen functional. We used the kitchen a lot, cooked and had lovely dinners. The construction in the morning was quite loud but we knew about it so no complains, just a note that the constructions guys were very effective waking us up at 7AM every day.
The main entrance is in all honestly (to the building) a bit sketchy and maybe the construction around it makes it look like that, but once inside, it's all good. We parked our bikes in the courtyard behind, no issues with safety. It's close to lots of bike shops and rentals, and many grocery stores. The bus station is right in front of the building. The view from the balcony is nice and there's always a nice breeze coming through windows. I think is a great value and we highly recommend Edmunds home.
Check-in/out process was basically great! Sabrina (Edmunds assistant) was great and very helpful. We didn't have any issues whatsoever. She gave us lots of advice about the transit system and the bike rentals.
