Pros:
1. Excellent location in the heart of the old city.
2. Responsive nice host.
3. Minimal noise in bedroom.
4. Toys for kids.
5. Great grocery store across the street.
6. Bunk beds in master.
Cons:
1. Not very clean. It was surface level cleaned but inside drawers, walls, washer, beds, etc it was dirty and unkept. Beware of you open drawers.
2. Flies get in whenever open windows. It needs window screens. It was impossible to get ventilation without flies getting in.
3. Master also has zero ventilation outside a door that leads to fire stairs and loud vents which limits the poss of opening at night.
4.. Limited hot water in shower. It was only warm enough for 5 minutes or so shower then gets cold and you will have to wait another 20-30 minutes for it to heat up again. Remember to turn on the switch ahead of time.
5. Large cell phone tower across the way a street or two away which was a big safety concern for us. This of course is of no fault of the owner. There is plenty of research that proves negative health impacts of distance to cell towers. Would have not rented it if wr had known ahead of time. I would be most concerned for children who ate most suceptible and adults who have health issues.
6. Building needs to be kept up. There were dirty towels left outside the main door. While it's an old building with charm it felt very seedy and we questioned whether we made a mistake from the moment we arrived.
All in all the unit has tremendous potential to be lovely unit if it is kept up, deep cleaned after all guests and better organized.
