I would give this place overall an “okay”, here are my reviews. And I understand that the owner has no control over sizing / spacing, but some of these things should be mentioned beforehand. If you are a light traveler (meaning small suitcase etc) then this place is okay.
Pros:
- great location next to LX Factory
- Place is simple and modern with two balconies
- Greeter was nice and friendly, helped w bags up the stairs
Cons:
- place has no elevator, had to go up 3 narrow flights of stairs
- Building is very old, stairs itself are super narrow, so if you have bigger feet (US 10 and above) it’s very awkward walking up and down these steps
- Opening the apartment door is not that easy, took a few tries to open the building door and apt door, very inconvenient, owner should have an instruction manual to reduce frustration on guests part
- The apartment itself is probably an old attic or small loft converted into an apt, the ceilings are super low, I’m 6’1 in height, I hit my head 3x on the first day
- The shower itself is very small and probably built for children, again if you are tall it is inconvenient to shower
- The pillows are rock hard and very uncomfortable to sleep on
- The entire apartment has a weird old smell
Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again. I think the place has charm at first, but a lot of easy details to fix were overlooked and clearly obvious to me that this is a location ran by a mass rental company, vs an individual homeowner. I feel like small details like this, dramatically change the experience of the customer.
