The apartment is large, centrally located and the building has an elevator which was great since we had a stroller. The kitchen was well equipped. The street below can get quite noisy and crowded. Having the bedrooms in the back helped.
The balconies off the bedrooms aren’t really useable because the air conditioning units that serve the entire building are located there. Not attractive and noisy.
Had timely communication with the host. On our final night there was a strong metallic smell in the master bathroom that might have been some kind of hazardous leak and left my wife and I with headaches. We were concerned. This was more than an inconvenience.
We opened the relevant windows for fresh air, closed the needed doors to contain the smell and moved all of our things to the living room and slept in the second bedroom. This was communicated to the host who responded and was sympathetic but didn’t offer a solution to the situation. I suggested the host have a professional investigate in order to ensure health and safety for future guests. Hopefully that happened.
I think this is one the advantages of being in a hotel is that you will have more immediate and accessible in person support for these types of occurrences.
