Though the location is nice and centralized there are many things about this stay that made this somewhere we will likely never stay again. As many of the reviews have mentioned, yes, the shower is miniature with a sloped ceiling, but that was the least of our worries. It’s clearly stated in the post that there is a washer accessible but what they don’t inform you of is that they do not also provide any form of detergent to wash anything with so we had to find a market, which only sells jugs of laundry detergent to wash a single load that we will likely not be able to carry with us to our next stay. On top of that when I asked the host if the soap was somewhere to be found the day I checked in, I did not get a response until midway through the next day, when it shows a guaranteed response time as 1 hour.
•The listing shows a lamp posted in the kitchen to provide some sort of light for cooking that was not there for us so we were forced to rely on the main room light at night time when we cooked our own meals which was not the easiest.
•The mosquitos in the room at night were non stop, we had to get up numerous times to try and swat them away and still ended up with loads of bites by morning. The windows and roof terrace door were never even opened the second day of our visit for fear that it would let more in but the Closet door that holds the water heater has an opening to outside AND and openings on the door to the inside so regardless of what you do, they keep coming.
•The A/C unit, I get that they were trying as previous reviews have complained about the heat before they installed A/C, but the location and strength of the unit is probably just as useful as having nothing at all. The temperatures at night were unbearably hot. There were also no fans to be found.
•The room is on the 3rd floor but it is not mentioned that there is no elevator so if you have number our big bags, be weary.
•The key to the property MUST be on you at all times, even to get out into the hallway because even from the inside, you are locked in, which I feel like HAS to be some sort of fire hazard.
• Last but not least, the bells. I get that we are in a city with churches and bells that go off at scheduled times but it would have been nice to have a fair warning of them going off for 3-5 minutes straight every morning at exactly 8am directly across from your window.
I am not normally this brutal on my ratings but I don’t want people to be led astray. Don’t get me wrong, it IS a unique and cute apartment, in a great location with some cool features but what is disclosed online and what you get in real life are not the same.
