Our stay in the studio apartment was pretty mediocre. I will start with the positive, and the negative is down below.
The location is great! It's in the center, great walking distance from absolutely everything, on a pretty nice street. While it is located on a touristy street, it is not too loud to where it affects your quality of sleep.
The "double bed" is actually just two twins that are "joined", but because of the bed frames, the distinction is quite clear--something that's maybe fine since you don't feel the person next to you? The mattresses are fine. You do only get a comforter and a pillow.
The shower was great.
You get a tiny fridge, a pod coffee maker, tiny espresso mugs, towels. The "closet space" is small but suffice for a weekend.
They have a Welcome Center, where you can leave your suitcase after checkout.
Now onto the BAD, which for me weighed more, since I booked it specifically wanting a place where I could at least eat breakfast before heading out for the day.
The amenities advertised were not given (I'll go into further detail below). This would not have been an issue had the Host not asked me privately to only mention the negatives *privately*! It rubbed me quite the wrong way that they would try to hide the negative points. Had I known more about the downside, I might have chosen an AirBnB more inline with my necessities.
Likewise, the Welcome Center, where you can leave you suitcases after check out and pick up extra linens, is in the city outskirts, so you can't actually hang around the city while you wait for your flight.
Picking up the key was actually pretty funny. We had to go look for it in a separate office, which was in a sketchy street. The phone rang and it had total scary movie vibes.. I kinda loved it lol but it's next to a strip club so if you have small kids maybe wait elsewhere with them lol
They advertise a Welcome Drink, You do NOT get this. I asked and they said they just don't do it anymore.
The apartment is actually v dark. They keep the blinds closed and I opened them. There was a pretty ugly, dirty like opening?? Where building walls came together? So they keep them closed, I guess.
