The area this apartment is in is cute. If you are booking this apartment because it says it has a washer and dryer, it does not. I was incredibly disappointed when I arrived because I specifically booked this apartment based on that amenity. Additionally, the trash in this neighborhood is left on the sidewalk directly in front of the bedroom. The trash collectors stop by at around 2:30am and continue collecting for what seems like an hour. They chatter and make a lot of noise and are so loud it sounds like they’re in the room.
I live in San Francisco and I’ve gotten used to noise but the noise from the trash collectors was really something else. Every night they woke me up. By the time I was able to go back to sleep it was very late and there was construction going on outside that started at like 7am. I know the trash and construction cannot be controlled by the host but it would be nice to have had a heads up about this. I only booked this place because of the supposed washer/dryer so the lack of sleep due to noise and construction only added to my disappointment. There is also no AC which is fine in the living room/kitchen area since there are two windows but the bedroom gets really warm and there aren’t any fans. If you were to open the windows in the bedroom the noise from outside would be worse.
