The apartment was within walking distance to everything. The only downside with the location is the view. I specifically chose this location because I thought it had a river view, but it does not. The view just below and in front of the unit is of what appears to be an abandon school. I was expecting a nice river view which is the only reason for my disappointment in the view. You can not see the river from here at all. If you aren’t specifically looking for that view, this is still very nice with the large windows.
The unit itself was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable and extra pillows and blankets were provided if needed.
We were not given enough towels for 2 guests. There are 2 bathrooms but we were given 1 bath towel, 1 small towel that is more like a cheap pool towel and 1 very small towel which we used for the floor to not slip and fall. For 2 adults and 2 nights stay, there needed to be more towels. There were no toiletries provided at all, so if you need anything you must bring it. I was prepared and had what we needed, just a heads up to any guests expecting the basics.
The kitchen had what we needed for our short stay as we didn’t cook in the unit. There was no cork screw in the apartment, which I think to be a basic kitchen item and caused us to have to go out searching to purchase one after we had returned to the apartment after a long day. The dishwasher had not been emptied from the previous guest, so we thought there were no knives in the apartment at all until we went to load our glasses in the dishwasher. A wooden spoon appeared to had been left in the dishwasher with the clean dishes for quite some time and was growing mold on it, so opening the dishwasher left a pretty gross smell for a while.
The WiFi password was never provided even after communication with the host. If you are staying in this unit and require WiFi, this could be an issue.
Lastly, if you are staying with others here that may want to go off separately during the day, there is only one key to the front door of the apartment and one to the unit. Not a big deal if you will be together the whole time or both have cell phone service. But being on the 3rd floor and no access to WiFi, we couldn’t leave the unit to explore unless we had a prearranged time to meet at the unit and let the other in. Since you can’t get into the building without a key (which is actually wonderful for feeling safe and secure) it made it so we couldn’t venture off with no time constraints since we couldn’t communicate to be let back in the unit.
Check in and check out was easy and convenient. Diana met us at the unit and was very pleasant and helpful.
Overall, this is a good unit. The things I mentioned are all minor and only to provide helpful info to those looking to stay here and how to prepare. I would still recommend staying here.
