Alan's place is SUPER CUTE - that much is indisputable! We loved the design and all the plants, and having 2 king bedrooms was great for traveling with friends.
We had a couple hiccups that made it okay instead of amazing. We arrived and the hot water wasn't working for the first day. That wasn't ideal after a long day of traveling and then long dusty city walks, but we all just took cold showers. They fixed it the next day. Because it was so hot the windows had to be left open, so everything was completely dusty within a day. Definitely not the airbnb's fault, just a fact! We were literally leaving footprints in the dust just walking on the floors. The elevator stopped working on the third day of our one week stay and was never fixed. Again, not the end of the world, just a little annoying to have to climb four flights of stairs every time we came and went. The "smart lock" was fairly finicky - if we didn't pull it, let it go, pull it again, and then wait a couple minutes, it would unlock itself after we walked away. We figured this out after we twice came home to find the apartment door open.
All in all, it was a lovely place in a good location, I think we just had a series of small inconveniences that were frustrating and kept the place from living up to its potential for our trip.
