Overall a great place to stay, in a good location only minutes away from all the landmarks. But like anything there are some pros and cons.
pros:
- We arrived early, and very jetlagged, and we were able to check in, earlier than the anticipated time
- check in and check out were seamless
- the apartment was clean overall (with some tiny exceptions)
-the apartment had all the amenities needed (microwave, oven, dishwasher, laundry machine, ironing board/iron, etc)
-communication with host was very prompt and honestly probably the fastest responses I have ever received, and it did not matter what time of day. I would message the host late at night in North America time, and they would answer within minutes. It almost felt like they didn't sleep!
- close to supermarket, laundromat and bus stop
cons:
-we noticed on the first day that the hair dryer did not work. When we messaged the host, it took them 24 hours to check if it was indeed not working (almost like they didn't believe us) then another 24 hours to replace it, which was over half our stay.
-although the apartment was clean overall, it wasn't a very thorough job. the coffee table seemed to be sticky, a tad dirty, with crumbs all over it, as though the previous tenants were eating cake on it, and was never cleaned up
- we were only provided one bath towel and one hand towel, and if you want more there is an additional charge, which is quite ludicrous
- not a huge issue, but the code to get into the building itself is way too simple that it could be guessed right away. Did not feel very safe in that regard.
In the end though, it was a great place to stay and I would recommend it to others if they are looking for a modern place in the heart of the city.
