This place was great, exactly as listed. The location is amazing, right in the center of the main area you want to be as well as near the train station. The balcony is beautiful as pictured, the washing machine works well, the air conditioning was good (more on that in a bit), the elevator was nice, all the main criteria many people may use to identify a fit were great. The check in and out was also super easy, all self-driven via codes and lock boxes which made things easier. I would absolutely stay here again and would not hesitate to recommend to friends.
I have three things to add for constructive feedback.
First, there is a lot of construction around the apartment now, it is nothing we heard, just that the street is closed in front of the apartment to car traffic and between the apartment and the garage to car traffic and pedestrians. This will be temporary of course, but it is a bit of a burden in the near term as it causes a lot more steps with luggage than without the construction due to the need to go around the block.
Second, minor, but a house manual / instructions book was referenced and there wasn’t one in the apartment, which probably led to the third issue.
Third, we were not able to get the AC working initially, and given there wasn’t a manual, we messaged the hosts. They were super friendly, quick to respond, and offered to send a maintenance person to fix, which was great. I am not sure if it is a management company, someone unfamiliar with specific details, or if I missed something, but they told me to use a specific remote control to turn on the AC, but it was an Essani (lighting company) control, which should control lights, not the AC, and it did not work. We later found the Mitsubishi AC remote outside on the washing machine, which worked perfectly to control the AC. It may be that the lighting remote was broken, but given the Mitsubishi remote was hidden, but once found, worked well, the info we received was a bit odd and was likely inaccurate. This was a long was of saying, the host was responsive, but I am not certain all the advice given was accurate in this case.
Again, we loved the apartment, would stay here again, and would recommend to friends to stay here, just a couple quirks detailed above.
