I would not stay here again. I almost left on two separate nights to go stay in a hotel and cut my losses. I’m glad I was traveling alone this time because two miserable people would have ruined the trip.
The night club: yes, we are warned about it, but not that it goes from 11PM to **6AM** and that the clubbers will loiter and party and smoke right outside the window until about 7AM. It’s impossible to have the window open at night on the weekends. Ear plugs were provided but I found noise cancelling headphones to work better, though you still feel the vibrations from the club music.
The AC: the air conditioning is broken. No cold air comes out, it is basically a noisy fan. When the host was informed they said I was wrong. I was not. During the epic heat wave, it was hotter inside than outside late in the day. I sweated through the nights. I found it cooler to sleep on the couch or the floor because at least some air circulates to that part of the room.
Sleeping: in addition to the extreme heat, the couch being somewhat more tolerable, and the thumping of the club til 6-7AM, It’s also not possible to sleep with the windows open unless you want a spotlight from outside directly hitting you in the face. Recommend bringing a sleep mask so you can have the window open. Sunrise is at 4ish in the summer. The apartment faces East.
Bugs: When home during the day and able to open the windows, dozens of black flies swarmed in. I have videos of it. It was really bizarre and gross.
Pros: the location is fantastic, the decor is cute, the renovation is thoughtful to maximize the 250 square feet and the finishings are modern.
