This is a mixed review, as Alicia’s place was every bit as charming, cozy, and clean as the other reviews attest. Though I didn’t meet her in person, Alicia seemed lovely in her communications and willingness to help. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed and the neighborhood was quiet and centrally located. The only issue for us, unfortunately, was one of privacy.
Inexplicably, the host entered the apartment nearly every day of our stay - and only once with our advance knowledge. Though I do not believe there was any ill intent on the host’s part (I believe she may have been checking the A/C?), it dramatically affected the comfort level of our visit. Each time we left the apartment, we felt as though we had to put all of our personal belongings out of sight as things would often be moved around. And with only a standard knob lock on the front door (like one you would find on an interior bedroom or bathroom door), there was no way to secure the apartment from the inside.
Again I don’t believe there was any ill intent, it just made for a slightly uncomfortable experience - particularly with two young kiddos.
