Overall our stay here was just ok. The location is fantastic but we were a bit disappointed with the air bnb.
We were two couple each travelling with a baby. I wouldn’t recommend staying here with a baby. I also wouldn’t recommend if you have any mobility issues. That said if I was back in my 20s travelling I probably would have loved this place. Here’s our run down…
The good:
- extremely clean on arrival, cleaned once during the stay - this was great!
- excellent AC
- fantastic location - central, great restaurants and cafes and right across from the park. The bar on the corner is open till 1.
- very comfy beds (note though that they were advertised as king beds and are queens)
- great water pressure in the shower
- fast reliable wifi
The bad:
- you have to go to a different apartment to pick up the keys. It’s only a couple blocks away but not ideal travelling with a baby & luggage while jet lagged.
- the kitchen sink water pressure is no good. We did dishes in the shower.
- the downstairs bathroom is tiny and is missing the shower curtain so if you shower the whole room is soaked.
- the coffee machine didn’t work - I asked ahead if the coffee machine was fixed because I read a review that said it didn’t work and was told it was fixed. It wasn’t. They tried fixing it once while were there but it still didn’t work.
- If you have an issue on Sunday you will have to wait until Monday for someone to come help as they are “closed” on Sunday.
The ugly:
- We asked for two extra towels because we were only given 4 and with the babies there was 6 of us, plus we had used a towel to mop up the floor of the flooded downstairs bathroom. They responded saying no, air bnb doesn’t count babies as people so we could only have 4 towels total.
- the stairwell to the upstairs bedroom is dangerous. The stairs are slippery, there’s no handrail and no light (you can see the outlet where the light should go but there’s no light installed). One of our group slipped at night and fell part way down the stairs. Thankfully she wasn’t carrying the baby at the time as was ok (but has a nasty bruise).
