This flat is great. I stayed here for a week in April 2022. Overall, I would say its a good value and great location, and I would definitely stay here again.
Pros: it was clean, and exactly as in the photos. The hosts had left many small amenities that were very nice to have - a blow dryer, iron and ironing board, coffee and a French press, tea kettle, ice in the freezer, two large standing fans (like most places, no AC), etc. Having a fridge and stove was great (there is also a microwave). There is also a 7/11 on the other side of the building if you need something small or forget something. The location can’t be beat. Very central, very trendy. Lots of people walking around at night, so it feels very casual and safe to walk home late. From the windows of the unit you can see many great bars and restaurants. The linens and beds were as expected, not luxury but not budget either. It was a great place for an extended vacation.
Cons: Not many. The wifi is pretty good - definitely good enough for email, websurfing, etc, but a little slow for streaming or video calls. I streamed a show on my laptop and also had a couple Zoom calls, and I was able to do it without it freezing but the quality suffered greatly (it was staticy, pixelated). I think it may have just been on my end, the people I called didn’t seem to notice and were able to underhand me. The door locks can be a little tricky to learn if you haven’t encountered one like it, you have to turn it like 3x to unlock it, and the key can be a little difficult to get in, but it’s ok once you get the hang of it (keep trying!).
Thoughts on other reviews: Some things other reviewers mentioned were true, but maybe exaggerated. For example, there are a couple of floor boards that are soft (bend when you step on them) but I just didn’t step there and it was fine. It is on the third floor but the stairs are wide and easy. Other reviewers mentioned it being loud at night - I did not find this to be the case for me personally. It appears there was a bar or something located under the apartment building, but it is definitely closed now, so maybe it’s different now. There is a bar across the street, but it closed around midnight or shortly after, and I didn’t find it too loud to sleep. The neighbors are also pretty quiet, we didn’t hear them much at all. The shower was totally fine for us, we were able to turn it on like normal and it was hot enough without messing with the broiler in the kitchen, so we didn’t do that. Toward the end of the week some showers ran a little less warm a little earlier than expected but it wasn’t a big deal, and perhaps I could have tried to mess with the broiler but I didn’t, because it was warm enough. Someone mentioned about being asked to leave money for cleaning - my understanding is that you only need to pay an additional cleaning fee if you need cleaning while you’re there, otherwise the cleaning fee with the Airbnb booking is the only one.
Hope that helps!
