The room itself was beautiful and very clean, but the overall stay was not great because of the enormous amount of construction work being done on the whole building, which was NOT disclosed in the public listing. I wouldn't have stayed here had I known that there would be so much noise and lack of privacy. They said to me in my first message AFTER booking that "the studios should not be affected directly" by the construction work, but obviously that wasn't accurate.
Duri actually refunded me the entire amount of my two-night stay (which I really appreciated) because there were no blinds on the bathroom windows and construction men were walking around on scaffolds directly outside. I was standing there in my bathrobe and was obviously unable to use the toilet or shower because of the people standing right outside looking into the bathroom. Duri realized the problem after the fact and offered to put blinds up, but I couldn't believe they didn't know about the issue beforehand.
Aside from the privacy issue in the bathroom, the entire building was covered in scaffolding and the construction began at 8 am every morning. The noise was deafening. It seems dishonest not to mention the extent of this construction work in the listing description prior to booking. I was working remote and absolutely could not stay in the building to work because of the noise. I also couldn't open any blinds in the room because of men right outside.
The other things that were strange/annoying:
-- I wasn't able to adjust the room temperature. If I wanted it hotter or colder I had to email Duri and ask.
-- Check-in instructions were vague. Once I got to the third floor, it was just a white hallway with a few different doors and keypads. Nothing was labeled and I had no idea which door led to my room. I had to try my code on a few different doors before I successfully found and entered my room. Same issue for the bathroom.
This place has the potential to be a really nice stay but they shouldn't rent out the rooms while construction is going on.
