I spent 24 days at the apartment and here are my observations.
The Positives:
- Fast WiFi, good connection.
- Responsive and accommodating host. I needed something that wasn’t in the apartment and the host provided it the next day. The host responds right away to texts.
- Kitchen has all the supplies you need for cooking and cleaning. There was coffee, tea, spices, and even some food that you could make.
- Bathroom has all the toiletries you might need and several towels.
- There is a drying rack for your clothes after you wash them in the washing machine. There is detergent.
- TV has many channels.
- There is lots of space to place your clothes: hangers, drawers.
- The apartment is very quiet. You can’t hear any traffic noise or neighbors.
- The view from the large windows is beautiful: trees. Very calming. The windows open wide on the side and a little bit on the top, two ways.
- There is plenty of parking anytime of the day or night.
- Shower stall is spacious. Water pressure is good. There are heated towel racks.
- There are plenty of grocery stores walking distance and a trolley stop 2 seconds away.
The negatives:
- The mattress’ metal coils can be felt when you lay on it. The mattress is supportive (not sagging) but uncomfortable and thin. It was just strange a sensation to feel the metal coils.
- The pillows are not uniform like regular pillows but feel like there are pieces or balls of polyester clumped inside. You can feel the spaces in between and how those clusters move inside. Uncomfortable.
- I arrived to the apartment after a long trip late at night, exhausted. The bed was not made with linens. There was a huge decorative pillow and an uncovered blanket on the bed. There were no sheets, linens, or regular pillows. So I had to sleep in my clothes the first night, practically without a pillow because the decorative pillow was way to big. The next day when I was rested I found pillows in the closet and sheets and linens in the chest of drawers. It would have been nice if the bed was made or if I were informed where the pillows and linens were in advance.
- The cover for the blanket did not have buttons at the bottom. So every night the blanket would fall from the blanket cover half way. I had to readjust the blanket and put it inside the blanket cover every morning.
- You have to be ready for that area of Kengaraks. The area has gone down.
