I'm sure my experience with this property is not the typical one, but here it is, for what it's worth. Check in was easy enough, if a bit impersonal, as we basically had to call what seemed like a call center to get a code to unlock the door to this apartment building. The apartment itself was very nice looking and clean.
I had hoped for a quieter room, as some of the reviews had said it was. But, this is on a very busy street and there is a spot for live music below, which you can hear even with the windows closed. It's not that loud, to be honest, but for someone like me, it was a bit much. I sleep light and always try to find very quiet places to stay, so just keep that in mind if you want to stay here. I'm sure the vast majority of people will be just fine, though, as the windows do a decent job of muffling sounds.
But, the worst thing to note, is that when we arrived we found out that the water was turned off or did not work for some unknown reason. I tried to find the problem myself, I'm pretty handy, but I couldn't, so I called the listing phone number. Again, it felt like calling a call center as I got different people each time. They were super nice people who tried to solve my problem, but it took several hours and couldn't be fixed. We were left waiting a very long time, letting a city worker into try and fix it (he couldn't), and not know what to do. We'd had a very long flight and travel by train and now couldn't shower or wash our hands or get ready to see the town, left waiting and wondering.
Eventually, we complained that we'd need to find a new place to stay if it couldn't be fixed, which was very frustrating at the last second with very tired brains. The host company, not an individual like most AirBnB hosts, couldn't/wouldn't find us a new place to stay despite being very apologetic.
I will not stay at another property managed by this hosting/company. I'll try to make sure I'm working with individuals that can come personally to address an issue like this.
