Our stay here was unfortunately not as positive as we had hoped, largely because we were there during a heat wave and the AC system for the flat does not work well. There is a small wall unit in the living/sleeping room (one large space with high ceilings and a room divider, the unit isn’t nearly strong enough to cool the space). There’s also a swamp cooler in the kitchen but for it to work a 6+ foot tall window has the be kept open for the vent, which then lets in hot air from outside. We ended up turning off the cooler and closing the window as the system seemed to just be making things warmer. To Irenes credit, we brought up our concerns and she refunded one of the nights (though not the taxes/fees associated with such), which we appreciated but would have preferred to know ahead of time that the AC didn’t work well as we would have booked a different apartment. They do have two large fans in the sleeping area which we used and helped somewhat.
On the pros side, the location is excellent, and I could see this being a much more comfortable space in milder weather. The in-unit washing machine was also nice to have in the middle of the trip.
