I have ten items that are "must haves" when I stay anywhere. Below are my comments regarding each of the 10:
1. Accurate description of the property, location and amenities: There were no surprises and certainly no disappointments! What I thought we were getting was what we got.
2. Easy Check-In with little or no confusion: Check-in was a breeze with easy to follow instructions from the host.
3. Clean linens and comfortable beds: I had absolutely no concern about cleanliness as the apartment was sparkling when we arrived. The bed linens were fresh and clean and though the mattress was a bit hard for me, my husband loved it. This really is a matter of taste.
4. Good water pressure in the shower and hot water: Excellent! The bathrooms were pristine and the showers offered wonderful water pressure. Can't remember the last time my hair felt this squeaky clean when I traveled!
5. Quiet surroundings at night: The unit is high enough that any noise from the street below is rarely heard. Even with the windows open.
6. Ability to open the windows and provide fresh air and/or the presence of an air conditioner: Excellent! Thoroughly enjoyed the fresh air circulating throughout the apartment - especially at night. (And there is air conditioning though we didn't need it.)
7. A view from the apartment window(s) : The small terrace accessible from the 2nd floor of the unit was a true highlight. Loved the view!
8. Kitchen amenities are adequate: The only thing I found lacking in the kitchen was a teapot. Everything else was adequate to our needs.
9. Lack of environmental odors in the unit (ie., the smell of cigarette smoke): No odors at all, including odors from cleaning solutions.
10. Easy checkout: Checkout instructions were emailed the day before we checked out and were easy and simple to follow.
In light of the above, I rate this apartment a 10 out of 10. (Which is rare for me....the water pressure is usually the show stopper.)
