The photos of Alexandra’s place are accurate. My stay here was mostly pleasant, but I wouldn’t be back due to a few things that might be important for anyone planning on staying here.
Pros-
decor was well thought out
Location was great
Netflix available on the tv
Coffee, tea, and sugar
Welcome mini bottle of wine
Cons-
Self check in is a little fussy
(3 keys, all of which were sticky)
8 flights of stairs to reach the flat
Bedroom has no window
Older mattress with no mattress cover (yuck)
Very uncomfortable couch
Like I said, my stay was mostly pleasant, but I think having a mattress cover is a basic requirement. Also felt weird sleeping in the “bedroom”. It’s really just a wall of closets set up to resemble a room. It’s also located right along the front wall where the building staircase is located, so be prepared for a lot of noise with people coming up and down the stairs.
One other thing to note... I reached out to the host to inform her of a pest problem in the kitchen, and did not receive a response back.
All in all, I give it a 3/5
