Roomy but rundown. Owner has made valiant efforts to make the place nice but has not met our basic expectations.
Safety:
Many stairs, yes, but this was not the problem. In fact, it is well advertised that it’s a long way up with no lift. However, last two flights of stairs are littered with things, many of which are highly flammable (for example, wooden pellets for a heater)…clear fire hazard.
No security to building…outer door always unlocked and open. This was a significant issue for us. Linked to this: the key to the suite was left outside the door in plain sight…not good for our security.
Bathroom:
Toilet runs incessantly and is noisy. (No way to adjust either…). Shower is showing mould.
Kitchen:
Cutlery was filthy (so we felt obliged to re-wash everything we used). One coffee cup in entire place, plus a single teacup and a few espresso cups. No tea towels for drying dishes. Paper towel roll moldy!
3 Light fixtures in the suite hung to a height of about 5’6”. I’m not tall but at 6’, I hit my head many times on these fixtures. Just another annoyance which denigrated our experience.
Terrace:
Nice terrace but not as shown in photos (no sun cover), just a few plastic chairs and a table…
TV worked well and so did both air conditioning units. Couch was nice. Bed was so-so (advertised as a queen but is only a double).
We liked the views from the rooftop terrace but some of the aforementioned issues negatively impacted our overall satisfaction.
