I had a great time staying at Ewas apartment for 34 nights and would like to book again in the future.
Pros:
-Incredible location! Walking distance to all major attractions, and a couple minute walk to the subway which is super easy to navigate.
-Blazing fast wifi
-Very comfortable bed & couch which opens up into a bed if you want.
-The shower has good water pressure and gets really hot
-Nice kitchen with big fridge & freezer
-Cold AC
-Ewa is a super responsive & helpful host.
-It is down an alley so even though you are in the city center, it is nice & quiet most times!
Cons:
-Initially there were a handful of issues including very poor wifi, front door lock was extremely tricky to open, shower drain was clogged upon arrival however the good news is all of these issues were resolved for future guests.
-A silly thing but the toilet is not properly sealed to the ground so it wobbles like crazy every time you sit.
-The community laundry room. There are 3 washers in this room, only use the middle one though!! The two on either side do not work. They will leave your laundry absolutely saturated and you will end up needing to re run the load through the middle machine so it actually cleans. The dryer also does not work. The guests here do not seem to have much consideration for taking their laundry out on time and considering only the middle washer is useable, it would be nice if people had set alarms to get their laundry out on time. I ended up just going to a laundry mat called La Wash about 10 minutes walk. I would recommend that place if you want to do laundry.
Recommendations:
- It would be really nice if the apartment would have a couple basic necessities (toilet paper, sponge, dish soap). Every Airbnb I have gone to with the exception of this one usually comes with a few of these things so you are settled and don’t have to rush right to the store. I left a fresh sponge, dish soap, toilet paper & paper towel for the next guest!
-The rooftop has so much potential. It would be great if the trash up there was removed, the floor cleaned & some chairs put up there to be able to sunbath.
