This is a lovely brand new apartment with all new amenities. Very clean and very nicely laid out. However the description is not entirely accurate as it mentions the availability of laundry facilities which is one of reasons we chose the place. (10 days travelling on 8kg carrier luggage does not last) We did clarify with the welcome centre and they confirmed there were no laundry facilities for our use.
If visiting in colder months. You will need to use the heating as apartment gets cold very quickly through the windows. The air conditioner also acts as a heater which was very convenient and took the chill off.
CHECK IN: The welcome centre is not close to the Airbnb so if you are driving solo, it is not easy to find parking spot to facilitate check in. Also remember to ask at check in about parking in vicinity of Airbnb. There is no spot allocated to the apartment. We were lucky to find a spot that allowed free parking after 1600 on a Saturday.
Complimentary wine was a nice gesture.
COMMUNICATION: The responses are quite quick and are also conveniently available by what's app, however tend to be a bit automated as this Airbnb is operated by a property management company therefore lacks the personal touch of conventional Airbnbs.
LOCATION: The Airbnb is conveniently located next to a Metro but if you like walking, it's situated a bit far from main attractions, and the street is not exactly in the most attractive area nor will you find any cafes/dining venues of interest close by.
VALUE: Although the apartment is freshly renovated with brand new amenities. The less than desirable location does not justify the price. It is at least a 15 Min longer walking distance to the dockside than we would have liked. We were also visiting in October which should be a lower season. In addition, they are still renovating apartments in the building. Fortunately work was not in progress over the weekend but on the Monday, the noise would have been intolerable and we glad to be checking out.
