The apartment is as advertised - spacious and in a convenient location.
Unfortunately when we arrived, two hours after check-in, the apartment was just starting to be cleaned. There was no communication from the “super host” regarding the issues they were having. On top of that, the cleaning crew was very unprofessional- likely due to the stress they were experiencing- but they took it out on the customer. Very unwelcoming. This experience and the lack of communication knocked off stars.
We parked in the garage by Time Out Market and hiked up the hills to the apartment. This could be difficult for some. Climbing the narrow staircase with luggage to get into the apartment is equally challenging. Be mindful of that prior to booking.
We were reminded to keep quiet after 2300, which was fine, but I don’t think the memo made it to the upstairs apartment with dogs. They were barking quite often, but it is unclear if they were actual neighbors or another AirBnB guest.
The apartment itself is a bit humid despite the provided dehumidifier and ACs running. It is clear that the host has tried to address it, but I am not sure what else can be done. The bath towels don’t seem to ever dry completely and it just feels damp.
There was plenty of towels, toiletries, and even a gift basket provided. An added bonus would have been hand soap pumps or bars in bathrooms, but we managed with the little squeeze bottles.
We didn’t like that the curtains in the living room did not adequately cover the windows. The host needs to double the curtains needed. This is especially true when a customer’s group will use the living room as a sleeping area. The neighbors across the alley can see right in.
It would be unlikely that we would stay again at this AirBnB, but others may have a better experience.
