There are many great features of the place and also some considerations that should be made aware of:
- if you are looking for a place that is centrally located to a range of eateries from street food to higher end dining then Roma NTE is a great choice. It also means there’s a lot more noise and nightlife to take into consideration. Part of it is the building and place which didn’t have the best sound insolation. For instance, it was difficult to close the patio sliding door.
- felt safe around the neighborhood while walking in the evenings and traveling with a toddler
- nicely furbished home with lots of greenery and decor for aesthetics, welcome basket of goodies/cold beer, stocked with towel/toiletries/hair dryer (but toilet seat was a bit wonky and too small for the actual toilet)
- good temp hot water for showers but very low water pressure
- the second bedroom was upstairs on a different level which we weren’t aware of. It worked out for us for various reasons but we don’t think the description gave us that impression
Overall, the location was very convenient. For us traveling with a toddler who went to bed around 9pm we may consider a quieter neighborhood (eg Amsterdam Ave), especially considering we dealt with a neighbor right below that had a loud party till 3:30am. We felt the vibration from the music and could hear every word from the party. We contacted the property manager and host numerous times that evening to resolve the matter. We were prohibited from having a party in the description of the listing but the same considerations didn’t extend to everyone else in the building. There wasn’t anything we could do but endure an extremely long evening impacting our holiday experience.
