The apartment was in a wonderful location and the AC was key during this heatwave. It was very nicely done with lovely decor and linens. The hosts were gracious setting up our water taxi from the airport.
The kitchen had great finishes and appliances but lacked basic necessities-for instance there is no strainer for pasta, a tea maker with no tea, no sugar, few mugs, no paper towels or paper napkins et. It would be helpful if the larger bathroom had a shower curtain so the tub could be dual use-the other bathroom shower is very, very small. Lastly the elevator was out, which normallly would not be an issue as we live in nyc and this happens, but we were with two small children and the marble steps were very smooth and steep and not ideal for going up and down. They did arrange for a valet for our luggages but it felt that what was told to us as a short outage, was more of a long term issue they failed to disclose.
