Great location - walkable to any place you’d need to go and if you can’t wait, subway and buses are very close. A cute and quaint apartment with everything you’d need! The wine was a really nice touch.
A few things to note that is relevant for summertime. The water is shared by the building, which includes restaurants. For the 3 days of my trip, just me and one other guest, there was only enough hot water for the first 3-5 minutes, if at that. We tried showering at all different times, midday, early early morning, and then super late at night. When we reported to the hosts, they said they can come check it out but recommended we try a few things beforehand. Given we were only here for 3 days, it wasn’t worth taking time out of the trip for the water to be fixed but I was thankful for the messages.
Additionally, if anyone is barbecuing in the back, the apartment is a smokestack. Upon entering the apartment at check in, the apartment was smoky to the sight and it was so difficult to breathe. We aired out the apartment for the day and it certainly got better (it’s not cigarettes so it does air out) but for anyone that’s asthmatic or sensitive to smell, look out.
Finally, the noise. As a relatively heavy sleeper, I’ve never been sensitive to sound until this apartment. Again, specific to summertime, there’s always a party outside - outside your window. There was chanting, group singing, and screaming until 3 AM and no sooner. Even I couldn’t ignore it. The other nights without chanting and singing, I was able to sleep through the noise.
That being said, it was really a great apartment in the best location and I would stay again.
