While location is great, and communication is relatively fast, the downsides are lukewarm water (no hot showers), 101 apartment faces the street right next to the garbage bin, so anyone can look in through the balcony window (which also happens to be the only window with natural light). Whenever someone throws out the garbage, it is right next to your room. You can see from the pictures in the guide.
It can also get stuffy if you keep the balcony closed all the time, but otherwise your balcony is directly facing the street with no surrounding gate or privacy. The outdoor area on 1F doesn’t get cleaned daily, so the water clogs up at the door when it rains. Unfortunately for me, it was a rainy week, so there was a puddle at my entrance for a few days.
On my second night, the light was not working and I requested for someone to fix it as I had a meeting, but they asked me to buy a bulb and fix it myself. It was only after I explained that I am working and in meetings before they agreed to have the lightbulb changed, but I would need to wait until 8:30pm. Fortunately, they let me use the 4F room until it was fixed.
There is a washing machine, but it wasn’t clean and ended up staining my Lululemons when I washed them. I am greatly disappointed.
Although lacking in many areas, the room overall is decent, although I’m not sure why many things were locked, including the fridge (I was only allowed to use a small fridge that barely had space to keep food) although I stayed for two weeks.
While the Airbnb showcases a gated door, the gate is NEVER locked, so there is really no point in having a key. I notified the management multiple times, but gave up and moved to another Airbnb instead when I realized they will not be doing anything about it.
It was a very disappointing stay. I would not recommend staying unless safety is not a priority.
