My wife and I enjoyed the location. It’s very walkable and I felt safe. Downstairs is a small convenience store that we frequented to purchase water and small items.
However, the place itself wasn’t as expected. Several light bulbs were missing so we weren’t able to turn on lights in certain areas. The bedroom linens were stained and the towels were grey with stains as well. The top kitchen cabinets had grease from the previous guest. The walls need a fresh coat of paint because there are several markings on the walls. The futon in the living room was uncomfortable.
I think the apartment has great potential, and if those few items were addressed then it’d be perfect.
The host was very nice. We had to change our flight to arrive much later and he still greeted us and explained the locks. At one point the hot water wasn’t working and he immediately called us and walked us through it. Very nice man and attentive.
