The location of this apartment is great. It is centrally located with access to all modes of transportation and is in walking distance to many restaurants, bars, music venues, and tourist attractions.
However, the apartment did not meet my expectations:
- Not all the furniture was usable. Rocking chairs and other items are made for children and look like they would break if an adult sat in them. The couch looks nice but is very uncomfortable.
- The decorations, while modern, are not well organized. One bathroom was decorated in an Egyptian motif, while the living room was ultra modern. The other bathroom was decorated in an unrecognizable motif. Overall, modern paintings combined with statues of ants, butterflies mounted in a picture/case...didn't provide for a well though out decorated environment.
- The amenities are not well supplied. There were no napkins and we had to purchase toilet paper after two days because a supply was not kept in the unit. The pepper shaker was out of pepper and other kitchen supplies were low.
- Plenty of hand towels were provide in each bathroom. However, only one large towel was provided per guest. We prefer to shower in the morning, prior to our daytime activities, as well as in the evening prior to dinner. The one large bathroom towel did not dry during the day. We had to purchase additional bath towels because the owner took four days to respond to our request for additional towels.
- The unit is absent a clothing dryer. While an outdoor "drying clothes line" is provided, it does not guarantee that the clothes will be dry and those that are...are very rough and stiff.
I would not recommend this unit. There are other places that are less expensive with better charm...or more expensive units that have all the required amenities.
