The apartment and building were very clean, and the lift was an appreciated benefit. The location is very convenient, close to restaurants, bars, and public transit. However there is definitely some sketchiness happening on the block (drug deals, a few people begging for money-some intimidating); to be clear we never felt in any danger but did feel the need to be careful.
The apartment has all the appliances needed for longer stays but could use some more dishes and cutlery. We had to run a half-empty dishwasher every day (with just two people), and also had to provide the soap as there was none in the apartment when we arrived.
Communication during check in was very fast but afterwards it took the hosts several days to answer simple questions that could’ve already been answered in a house manual—like how to throw out the garbage or recycle.
All in all we enjoyed our stay.
