I have mixed feelings about this place. Here are my pros and cons:
Pros:
- super convenient, close to lots of restaurants and nightlife
- comfortable beds
- 24h doorman
Cons:
- no blackout shades in bedrooms
- showers run out of hot water pretty fast
- no heating in apartment
- girls complained that no hair dryer was provided
- noisy at night (though they do provide ear plugs)
There was also no key provided for the apartment door. The building has an elevator that opens up right at the apartment door, and the elevator requires a key to go up to the apartment, so there really isn’t a need to lock the actual apartment door. However, it’s standard procedure to do so, and the first time we left the unit, we locked it from the inside assuming that one of the keys we had could unlock it. When we couldn’t get back in, we messaged the host and she informed us that we should leave the door unlocked. That should have been specified in the instructions.
I understand some of these complaints are hard to address, but the others are quite easy. Hopefully they get corrected for future guests.
