The good:
The unit/building itself was beautiful and clean. Very new construction with thoughtful finishes. The bedrooms were comfortable, the showers had plenty of hot water, and my dog enjoyed the private patio area very much. The hosts were pleasant and easy to work with. Internet was strong and consistent.

The bad:
Starting with the most glaring issue – the building is next door to a rooster breeder. That means that every morning and all day you hear their persistent, loud crowing. This made it impossible to take work phone calls from the living room and forced me to use the back bedroom, which with the door closed, dampened their noise a lot. The fact that none of the previous reviews mention this, or that the host didn’t disclose this as a pertinent fact, made me feel cheated during my week long stay there.

Another issue is the lack of means for getting into the building. The host only gives you a key to the unit itself but no password/key to the outside gate, making you fully dependent on the doorman. I had to spend over an hour at 2am calling the host and ringing the doorbell persistently, while trying to get the situation resolved. In the end, it turns out the doorman was sleeping and didn’t hear me ring the bell for an hour. While the host was very apologetic for the situation, this could have been avoided by giving guests an electronic password/key that I’m sure is a feature with their electronic security system (I noticed it even had fingerprint reader).
