Overall we enjoyed our stay. We are a family with 2 teenagers (one boy and one girl) and everyone had plenty of space to unwind.
Pros:
- Great location! Absolutely fabulous. Close to many attractions, and tons of restaurants and bars.
- Host and assistant were great - helpful and responsive.
- Spacious apartment given the location
-Comfortable beds and the linens were fine
- Listing seemed pretty accurate, and amenities were as expected.
Cons:
- You can't leave the apartment separately. There is one set of keys that turns the "electricity" on an off in the apartment. Also opens apartment door and building door. And the keys are padlocked together so you can't split them. If someone stays in the apartment, you need the electricity. So you can't take keys. But then the group/person that left can't get back in the door to the building without the person in the apartment very carefully making sure the apartment door doesn't close behind them (you would all be locked out) and then coming down 2 long flights of stairs to open building door. Needless to say...that gets old very fast if your group separates.
- Wifi does not work in the bedroom by the kitchen enough to be able to reliably use devices on wifi in that room.
- The second bathroom and the kitchen were weirdly hot no matter what we did. The AC only cools the 3 bedrooms (one with a bath) and the main "living room" area and the AC is acceptable but definitely not strong. The weather was quite hot when we were there as context.
Overall this was a good value and the location was wonderful. We enjoyed our stay, and hopefully this review helps someone make a good decision on if this property would work well for their situation.
