On the good side: The appliances, heating and cooling, elevator, WiFi and hot water all worked very well. There were sufficient kitchen items for the very small kitchen. The WiFi stopped working shortly after we arrived but it was fixed within 10 minutes after we notified management and we didn’t have any further problems. Good location to access many different neighborhoods in the city. Public transportation excellent.
On the disappointing side: The apartment is very small, made smaller by a large high unusable (for us) bed that takes up a lot of space in the living room. The bedroom is claustrophobic. The street noise was overwhelming. Fortunately, when everything is closed up, there is barely any noise. Similarly, if the window (to a ventilation vent) in the bedroom is open, noise from other tenants and the elevator tend to disturb. We were awakened two of three nights before we closed the bedroom window. The fan on the a/c works great and is sufficient to keep the bedroom from getting stuffy.
The roof deck is not convenient to the apartment and does not impress. While the apartment is nice and bright, the building itself is very dark and creepy, with a steep, dangerous staircase and rickety handrails. Fortunately, the elevator is excellent. Washer and dryer are in the lobby. We used the included maid service several times, but unlike a hotel there is an extra charge for clean towels.
All in all, we had higher expectations for an Airbnb Plus property. The photos make the apartment look better than it actually does. Plus it needs a deep cleaning. The tile in the shower closest to the shower head could use mildew remover and the curtains on the front balcony windows were dirty.
