I’m not saying that I do or do not recommend, it depends on the individual traveler. The shower ran hot every time but once over five nights, and that one time it went from hot to warm, so no complaints there. Super comfy bed, sparkling clean bathroom, consistently fast wi-fi, tons of cooking appliances, and tasty tea, fruits and veggies. Maintenance staff helped me carry my luggage. Lila allowed me to check in a few minutes early after a snafu with another non-Airbnb property. Always received quick responses. The apartment looks exactly as listed and is absolutely lovely, however almost all of the surfaces including the floor were dusty. In communication about it after I left, Lila said, “About the comments you make of the place being dusty, we will definitely look into it, but it feels to me like you are exaggerating.” If she hadn’t actually checked, then how would she know? When being shown the apartment on arrival, Lila pointed out the non-organic trash can and said in a tone that seemed almost but not quite joking, "And we hope that stays empty." I am always happy to sort trash, and I already knew from the rules that have to be acknowledged before reserving that she's very conscious about this, but I paid for a trip, not a guilt trip. I couldn’t help that my hummus came in a plastic container, or that I emptied a plastic shampoo bottle (that she provided), yet these things were niggling at me every time I needed to use the trash, rather than just throwing things where they needed to go. Another guest noted that they appreciated the education, so maybe it’s on me that I felt like I’d been pre-emptively chastised. Originally the patio was listed as private, but after the third time of people entering I got agitated and Lila immediately adjusted the listing, and promised for the rest of my stay that residents and staff would notify her first and she would check with me before they entered. Although they could see me in the apartment from the moment the entered the landing below the gate, what with all the windows (an original selling point), those who entered never asked to enter or even acknowledged my presence, they just opened the gate and came on in, including a neighbor, maintenance and, the last time, Lila. It felt very intrusive. I mention it because if I had read this in a review, I would not have made a reservation, so perhaps this will help someone else who has a need for privacy. Not all travelers are the same, and both the apartment and host are clearly great choices for some, so I hope this review benefits the travelers who have certain needs or preferences and no impact on those who don't.
