Great old building in an amazing neighborhood, and the apartment could be great too with just a little more effort on the part of the host. Entry Code to get in so that was easy but no one to meet us and orient us to the space. All the basic furnishings, cooking items, linens were available and the beds were pretty comfortable although the pillows were terrible. however, there was no soap of any kind in the apartment upon arrival, a pretty standard and expected item. There was very little toilet paper, no paper towels and only one tea towel. There were no instructions for the air conditioner, fans, appliances, where to take out the trash, etc. For example, we tripped the switch on the breaker half a dozen times before we realized that the dryer could only be used on delicate mode, not regular. A small manual with all of this information would have made the stay easier and more relaxing. No one wants to have to shop for basic supplies and continually email their host with questions when on vacation. Finally the patio is such a nice feature of the apartment but the furniture and umbrella are in such bad shape that it's not very inviting. The umbrella was literally listing sideways and creaked every time the wind blew. The plants shown growing in the picture are all dead and brown. Again, a little effort on the host's part to keep the patio in good condition would have made the experience completely different. We still had a very good time there because it was comfortable enough and in such a great area, but for the cost I expected more.
