The location of this couldn’t be better, I didn’t need a taxi once, everything was walkable or accessible by the subway. The space itself was lacking some things, I wasn’t told about the AC and didn’t figure it out for 48 hours, and even once I figured it out it was quite hot on the top floor. There was no light by which to read at night (and because it’s 2022 and I couldn’t even find a book light in the city), and in general the room was very dimly lit which was challenging at night trying to work in a much earlier time zone. Wifi worked great. If it weren’t so hot, it would be four stars.
Bathroom was great, shower very nice. The door (sliding glass) doesn’t shut all the way, or does with great effort that made me nervous I wouldn’t be able to get it open again, meaning I mostly just shut the curtain, lending to a bit of a lack privacy in an open floor plan. Overall, good value for the money and if you don’t plan to be there much—there’s so much to do!—it’s totally adequate.
The host was traveling during my stay, which meant there wasn’t always someone to ask questions to easily and unobtrusively. Housemates were wonderful and helpful.
The open floor plan can get a bit noisy but that’s to be expected in high traffic tourist areas like this.
