The location is completely outstanding. The layout was also wonderful. Our only issue was with the very worn furnishings and rough towels and sheets. It was not “luxurious” by any stretch of the imagination. (Also, the piano was horribly out of tune and the strings on the cello were broken.)
There was a strong sewer smell in the back bathroom. But, honestly, we have seen that in a lot of older buildings, so don’t fault the host for this. Lastly, the showers drains were ALL clogged, so water pooled in the bottom. That’s always quite disgusting to me. The showers produced only a half spray of water. Really no pressure at all (I have pictures, but can’t seem to upload them.)
This sounds worse than it was. The place was wonderfully located and very spacious. It was nice. I just don’t think it was “luxury” that was advertised. It needs some maintenance to achieve that sticker.
Oh, the street noise was COMPLETELY blocked if you closed the inside shutters. That’s pretty awesome.
