I stayed here for a week and a half and had an overall very nice experience. There are definitely some (very) easy changes the host can make and I was questioning the whole time why they didn’t do it as you’ll see below.
Here are the pros:
- You couldn’t ask for a more convenient and central location. Metro, market, gym, restaurants, are all a few steps away. It's easy to get anywhere in the city and I would rent here again for this reason alone.
- Host was very nice and responsive and let me check in early with my early flight
- Fast elevator in the building (the unit is on the 6th floor)
- Fast and reliable wifi (I was working and in school)
- A very safe location, even walking around late at night.
- Well stocked kitchen
- Check in was incredibly easy
Others complained about the noise, I honestly didn’t hear a thing other than the doors closing in the hallway as they’re all so heavy, or occasionally voices from people walking to their apartments in the hallway. But nothing from other units and nothing that ever kept me up and I didn’t see or hear any parties.
Cons:
-	There are really few amenities that you would expect in a rental. I had to get my own kitchen towels, dish sponges, hand soap, laundry and dish soap. There is also no broom, vaccum, dish drying rack or laundry drying rack, making it very hard to keep the place clean despite my best efforts. There is one roll of toilet paper and one set of sheets/towels. There are no extras of ANYTHING. There is a dishwasher, but no dish soap, you get the idea.
-	The A/C really didn’t work that well, even when a service person was sent. It was definitely not boiling but it could have been better. Hopefully this is addressed as it seemed it was just an isolated issue but not fixed while there.
-	There were a lot of scuff marks on the wall and I don’t think the place was as clean as it could have been, but overall nothing that was a big deal and honestly would rent here again as the pros outnumbered the cons.
