Pros:
-Convenient location
-Nice layout, feels spacious
-Great lighting throughout apartment
-Private (windows/patio doors don’t look out onto other windows)
-Quiet even when the streets outside are not
-Large, stylish bathroom
-Washer-dryer conveniently tucked into bathroom, works well
-Patio umbrellas are well placed to protect the table and chairs from pigeons overhead
Cons:
-Not thoroughly cleaned when we arrived -floors and surfaces dirty, coffee grounds in coffeemaker
-Patio is frequently besmirched by roosting pigeons and neighbors dropping ashes and cigarette butts from their windows; disappointing, because it could otherwise be a great space to use for exercise/yoga and relaxation
-Wifi speed is not sufficient for remote work/videoconference (8Mbps up and 0.5Mbps down best case, but even that was flaky)
-Some of the furniture (ottoman, chair) upholstery was stained, and there was notable water damage marring the wall between one of the patio doors and the fireplace/mantel
