The apartment is charming in many ways and the location is perfect. It is near transportation and restaurants and it is a great neighborhood.
However, the pull-out sofa is visibly stained/dirty and the mattress on the pull-out sofa is really uncomfortable for an adult. I am not sure it’s a real mattress, or just two mattress toppers. Technically, yes, it is another place to sleep, but only if you are a person who can sleep just about anywhere.
The main bedroom is good. It has a pretty decent mattress, but there are very few outlets for charging devices.
The lights throughout the house are charming, but not very functional. It’s a dark apartment and the light bulbs are the trendy Edison bulbs, hence not very bright. Also, the blinds in the living room only go half the way up. The person who greeted us acknowledged the blinds were not functioning properly. Most of the apartment is just a bit dark for my taste.
My biggest complaint is the internet. It does not work very well from the main bedroom and even when I was 1 meter from the wifi router in the living room, it would sometimes decrease to an almost unusable speed. It was fine for email, but not always good for Netflix or YouTube. It was inconsistent and frustrating. At one point, I needed to download something for work and I ended up going to my friend’s house, who lives nearby, to use his internet.
We did have an unexpected friend ask to stay with us and I notified Justyna as soon as I found out, and she said it was fine. Later she requested $60 ($10/night) for the additional guest, which I admit is following the house rules, so she is in her right to do that. I paid it immediately.
