I hate to leave a negative leaning review, but I really wish I knew what I know nowbefore booking.
The water pressure in the shower is basically a tiny trickle of cold water that occasionally gets warm. Seven days without an actual shower is quite miserable. While the pictures of the apartment are relatively accurate overall, the place is rough around the edges - walls, curtains, cabinets, etc feel dirty. The curtain by the bed didn’t work and was stained.
However, the owners of the apartment were very responsive when we had an issue with our key and fixed it immediately.
The view is very cool and the outdoor space is nice to have; however, it is a shared space with the entire building (who aren’t allowed there after 8pm) except for a nice neighbor whose silhouette may spook you on occasion. While we rarely saw anyone out there, knowing that it is shared is an important detail that i wish we had known. For us, it kind of got in the way of really relaxing.
I really hate to be negative, but when you end up paying the price of an actual hotel, you should expect a certain basic level of comfort, especially regarding the shower. And if there are blatant issues, these should clearly be mentioned in the description of the apartment in advance. I’m really sorry to be this blunt about the apartment, but all of these issues are either fixable or should be mentioned before you book.
