This is a fantastic location and we overall loved staying at Marc’s. He is very responsive and a great host who met us and showed us around the apartment when we checked in. The elevator was useful since we had so much luggage, and the washer/dryer combo unit worked very well (clothes were completely dry!). The kitchen is well equipped, and plenty of stores and markets around the corner. I loved the little cafes downstairs too, Rosebelle Cafe was best! The park is super close by, and the neighborhood felt very safe, even late at night.
There’s a very large living area that has shades connected with a switch which can block the sun well. The patio got bright sun all day and was a showstopper. I only went on it a couple times for a short while since there was very loud construction for a couple days. There is no shade and it was about 70 degrees F, so it was too hot to be on the patio for an extended amount of time with my laptop.
My friend and I were both working from home there. The one desk area is small but workable with a standard hard chair. I ended up using the dining table as a desk which is in a much darker part of the living area. It had a wicker-like chair (not the best for WFH). But I used a pillow from the couch, and moved a lamp to make the area work. Overall I’d stay here again!
