Overall Joan’s and Goodplace’s apartment met expectations. The wifi was reliable, and the check in process was extremely easy. The location is central and convenient.
However, the hosts were in nearly constant contact which made the place feel much more high maintenance than it actually is. The constant messaging became a source of annoyance over the three day stay and exacerbated a few other small issues: Mostly, that the floors hadn’t been mopped since the last guests, and there were no bed pillows for the second bed.
The gas issue appeared to have been resolved, but you can hear every single sound from the apartment above, which was very noticeable late at night/early in the morning when revelers returned from the bars. The hosts were communicative about the stairs and accessibility, which was good to know about: the 90 steps from street to apartment were no joke.
Overall, all of these issues are small, and certainly not dealbreakers, but the host’s excessive contact did not yield a proportionate experience.
