positive:
Excellent location: lots to do and eat within walking distance, safe to walk around, beautiful parks nearby, close to main attractions
The front desk staff in the building are nice.
Apartment was very spacious and had basic kitchen supplies; the furniture was fairly updated; the washer and dryer was a plus
Negative:
The apartment needs some updates; the bathrooms look very old; the shower heads are positioned in a way that makes it easy to splash water on the bathroom floor; this was kind of inconvenient as we had to clean up the floor several times
The host was very slow at responding. We asked for more towels and shampoo once and it took them two days to bring them apparently due to a misunderstanding on their end; we also had to follow up with the host several times when we wanted to extend our stay one more night.
I think this could be a perfect place to stay if the apartment gets some updates (particularly the bathrooms) and the host improves their communication.
